hounds from reeling by almost always

they'll eventually come down,
the thoughts half-hidden in storm clouds,
and they'll say that i've caved in
and they'll call it a tragedy.

and what might be left in the fallout?
a sense of reeling while hopes torn by loose hounds?
cheap love in our beds, chemicals easing pain of death,
while prayers of hope die on our lips?

i slept in peace under the roar of the ocean,
grounded beneath the stars knowing you held them.
now i feel so blind under the limits that hold us,
could i say if i'm among the dogs or your children?
i slept in peace under the roar of the ocean,
grounded beneath the stars knowing you held them.
now i couldn't hide doubt's corpse if i drowned it;
i breathe in coals of hope for a grace i can drown in.

i've waited so long standing still,
i'm child-like and lukewarm, scared i will
turn to stone, heart bleeding love
out through holes in my pockets
onto the ground.

i don't think i've been here before,
i must have lost my way.
