.
One day you will have to choose
Bruise or lose
The dogs of the culture will run you down
The faces of the word love
Chanting in unison
No excuse
.
I love from outside the confines
Of the picket fence
A ragged traveller
You can’t stay here long
.
But I long to with part of my heart
While the other tugs my sleeves
It’s an illusion she whispers
True love is on the breeze
