I Never Saw The Ban

I never saw the ban

lock up and close down

your disappointed heart

from the inside



I never saw the ban

see if you can

when everything gets disconnected

and falls apart on the outside



and every night guilt comes on

I wish I could break its right

and make it go someplace good



I never saw the ban

see if you can

turn that fist back

into an open hand



I never saw the ban

thrown into thin bloom

weak and waving

at someone no longer

around

it could have been you



and every night loneliness comes on

I wish I could break it right

and make it glow the way it should
