The low divides we dare not cross,
all that we’ve loved, all that we’ve lost,
the confidence of closest friend,
the spirit of a heart in mend,
a lifted eye t’ward that not ours,
bed of fragile, wilted flowers,
a gate that’s locked fast from inside,
the undertow of fickle tide,
the mind and heart of one we love
and memories that aren’t enough.
