Sisters |
I tied your shoes while you sat and watched the rain |
Hands folded across your lap, and the dull look of peace across your face |
Mom down the hall, Bible pressed to her chest |
She swore the Devil hides in everything, and her room was the only safe haven |
left |
She watched us grow through window panes |
Something in the middle |
Something in the middle |
Something in the middle |
Something’s in the way |
You had held my hand while the wind whistled nocturnes in the dark |
Something in the middle |
Something in the middle |
Something in the middle |
Something’s in the way |
Never knew what it meant to be whole and free |
Something in the middle |
Something in the middle |
Something in the middle |
Something’s in the way |
Neither one of them mocks if we steer from paths only they can see |
But sink or swim is all they say |
Your hand rode the wind out the window of the train |
We slept in our seats with our knees curled beneath our dirty chins |
Dad gripped the bags like they might fly away |
And the scenery beyond the glass was liquid, we sat and soaked it in |
I felt your breath along the way |
I’d hold your hand when the sky fell apart |
And you’d hold my hand if you felt me slipping back into the dark |
Can’t tell from the ground if the sky will fall |
Can’t tell from the sky if there’s anybody down there at all |
It’s empty hands and empty plates |
