Apart, together

We stand together

Holding hands

Trying to move ahead

But when I pull and when you tug

We both are filled with dread.

We stand together holding hands

But we aren’t going the same place.

Yes we’re holding hands and all

But I cannot see your face.

We stand back to back,

Both resolute,

That we must be in the right.

And though we are still holding hands

It’s turned into a fight.

Unload the burden.

Just let it go.

Our answers aren’t the same.

We can find our peace, together,

If we forget this stupid game.
