Nothing Grows Here

Time will find us

And slowly tear us in two

Like it’s all over

Like this was all part of the plan

Taste of blood on my tongue

Grows bitter

Burning at both ends

To feel anything

We are not like minds

No constant

I have made my peace

With our differences

I still hold you the same

When all that’s left is who we are

Find me between your nature and nurture

Collect your bones for someone else

Leave me to rest here in my own garden

We try to find some common ground

While the roots all disconnect

We’ll never see eye to eye

Without the light I’m by your side

No love to gain

Pick me apart til I’m gone

You say I’m wrong

Let the cards fall where they may

Have I let you down enough?

I am the salt in your open wound

I still hold you the same

I am the salt in your wound

We all change.
