Troubled waters

We waited.

We waited.

We waited.

Finally you came and

Toyed with our emotions,

Tossed them about

Like a rowing boat

On the ocean.

You came and

Battered our hearts,

Shattered our souls

Like a ship against the rocks.

Then you went

And suddenly

There was calm.

We gathered ourselves

Together again.

We fixed the

broken bits,

Put plasters on the sores.

But when you returned,

Our wounds

Were still raw.

Still jagged,

Still angry.

So arm in arm,

Hand in hand

And head to head,

We fought til the end

Neighbour with neighbour,

Friend with friend

And

Stranger with stranger.

And stronger and stronger

We became.

We've become

One.
