Unmade |
When we were young |
our words were innocent — |
whiter than snow, |
awkward and slow. |
now when we speak, |
we risk an avalanche. |
but that’s not enough now |
to reroute our plans. |
I believe that we’ve got it wrong, got it wrong. |
we’ll realize when it’s said and done, said and done, |
that in our words we’ve lost so much more |
than we’ve ever won. |
the aftermath |
is cracked wood where fences stood |
and the broken bones of our childhood. |
in our trembling fear, |
we put words inside God’s mouth. |
we cover our tracks |
and get so proud of ourselves, |
we get so proud of ourselves, |
we get so proud of ourselves |
when we get away. |
I believe that we’ve got it wrong, got it wrong. |
we’ll realize when it’s said and done, said and done, |
that in our words we’ve lost so much more |
than we’ve ever won. |
it’s in our nature to complicate, |
but in the end it’s the casualties |
that carry all the weight. |
