Bonds and Barricades
Formatted between us
As we swing inside our separate cages
Battling the internal wars that wage
Splicing the dice that has been thrown
For once in our favor
Yet we dissect it at every angle
Our first instinct of behavior
For so long we’ve lived as solo survivors
Then one day
We happened upon each other
I stumbled into your homegrown auxiliary shelter
Buried in the whiteness of winter
Stuck like snow
Addicted to your bones
Fickle fears feed our minds
So engaged, yet wounded from a past life
Of feeling estranged
Loners in a land of evidence
Losing the facts within our own hands
Accustomed to the give and sway
Attached to being left in the fray
I’m longing to dive from my cage
I’m longing to come with you and stay
If our scar tissue is all that remains
Let us blend this resistance
Before we kiss the grave

Nice one! You represent your ‘Us’ well. It’s too bad when former trauma disturbs what could possiby have been Heaven on wheels, but then at least we got to know what we want; and this climb, ooooooh!

Thank you Julie. Yes trauma definitely continues to fuck with me but it also makes the real connections even more precious. I love how you say it “heaven on wheels” thanks for sharing 🙂
