Brand New World

Mouths to feed. Shoes to buy.

Rent to pay. Tears to dry.

Brand new world.

I can't relate.

Let us choose

to not participate.



Open up.

Let me wander in.

Your heart is not

such a tender thing.

Brand new world.

I contend,

only love

will stop the withering.



Oh, to lie in wait

as the shadows and the shapes

spill across the walls

like a river

deep

in spate.



4am.

Dark reality.

Brand new world

and my heart

is missing.
