Striking Ribs

Not every hour but every minute
Time flashes back and I'm in it
You are real and within distance
I can reach further to breathe in

How long I'll wait, should I ever know?
Is it worth the wait; - weight of the guilt we spoke?
How long I'll wait, should I ever know?
Is it worth the wait; - weight of the guilt we spoke?

There is a hammer swaying inside of me
Striking ribs if I move violently
What disgrace I bare from my heart
But more pain it brings to know you're far
Pill's too easy to swallow
Did you know I was there, hollow?

Embarrassment may shroud
But easily it can be vanquished
Fill every room with green
What else is there that could be cherished?
Nothing past you for as far as I can see
Will I only write you in poems?
Can it ever just be you and me?

Hold your heart out,
There'll be no hurt now
Only shuttering sounds
As the lights go out
Life is quiet now
No more rumbling growls
Watch for them
Stand your ground
They'll try their best to tear us down
