Our hearts burn like damp matches

Take a walk through scattered trees
To the place where no one dreams
Serve my sentence and be done
All human life here is scarred
Posture slipped and ill-attired
We should all be redesigned

Hollow words sit silent in my mouth
Reasoned voices idle on the ground

Our hears burn like damp matches
Turn then attack us, burst and then break
Embers plucked from the ashes
Glow to attract us, lure us away

Every day arrives too late
Every morning seems the same
Stale regrets and dull routine
Know at last your weathered soul
Know your tethers clung with soil
And the reasons for it all

Trust in me and I will trust in you
Hold me close and I will hold you too
