To be apart.

Rise up, hold me. Rock

Dark and deep, from underground

Those bonds that sold me, 

Locked; whose courage keeps me sound. 

 

How far this is, to be apart:

Cracked dirt and shallow stone,

Cross way between the hearts

Far and near, reach out-

Alone, they can not grasp.

 

Ours is the long night, the empty road. Tightly drawn faces see the candle for the dawn, clasped between hope and restlessness.

How far it is to be apart.
