Pennies

Shush, listen
Do you hear the silence,
Of the ones who swore
Their precious alliance?

Shiny as a penny.
Two-faced, worthless
Pennies,
Disguised as friends
And families.
Just a helping hand
That's all I ask.
As I break my seams
So it seems,
A rather trying task
Here I stand
Trekking home
Yet,
I am not alone
As I stand,
With your helpful
Hand

Fight the lies.
The heavy, sick
Blood shot
Eyes
And sleepless
Endless nights
I love you
For I have seen
This scene
With words so true
Here I rise
By your side
And
Bare the tide
As I rise
With utter, desperate
Surprise

Shush, listen
Do you hear my soul
That carries you
And keeps you whole
