Straws for arms

Out of the dark
in to the morning light
where we will be alright
cold and shivering
hungry and
nerves wasted
wasted by
giving the best parts of ourselves

to

people that will be nothing more than missing.
not a lie to say
that I wont remember your name
but I wont forget your story
makes me think what you would look like when you cry.

but the pain that comes today
goes away
we are always homeward bound

I
I
I  want this more than life

don't let people eat your soul
like tape your own mouth shut
we all have to work
but we don't have to work against ourselves
might as well be your self standing in your shadows shadow.

not a scarecrow here.
