Nobodies PhemieC

Do you remember being nobodies
Discovering nothing was not that bad
When shared as a pair, both lost and long suffering
Hiding in a frightening land

And do you remember feeling that anger
Yet so much love and "for what?" you wondered
And now there's no wondering, the wrong nervous muttering
No magic left at all

But I remember leaning against a backwards bent wing
And awaking to feel that your touch didn't sting
When everything was wrong, I made so many mistakes
And you helped me make them, but with presence and patience

All those wrong, awful, wild, amazingly childish decisions

I take a breath, and I know I've got to
Turn the final page
But is our story really done yet?
I guess I'm still afraid

But do you remember, just being honest
Little bright moments of peace in the trees
Now it takes so much work to be with you
I'd say that I miss you, but for that you'd have to leave
