Where We End
Where we End
By Laura Dee Battle

The vision here will stay awhile
The crashing waves; the extra mile
A peaceful bliss of togetherness
A raging storm behind our kiss
It's desolate, but so serene
Our hands will hold all reasoning
We made a home; it isn't much
We made a dream with just a touch
There's no one here to take away
The nothingness of where we stay
No sirens sound, no car alarms
No judging eyes that mean us harm
We do not need electricity
When everything is what we see
No need for wake-up calls to arms
No enemies that mean us harm
Like I said, it sure isn't much
Our demons do not need a crutch
Time standing still where we can fill
Our windowsill up on this hill
These images, our eyes believe
More than our hopes could ever grieve
Cause we will hold these memories
Until the end of all our dreams
A rustic house we built ourselves
With books for days up on the shelves
The coffee steam inside the breeze
The sun will rise above our disease
This eternal song, forever long
Knowing they could never say we're wrong
We can simply be the sum of you and me
Away from the all the things we'll never be
I'm looking down the merging songs
The sun that finds where it belongs
It gives us light to find our hands
Unspoken words our love demands
It isn't much, but this is ours
The world we left was so bizarre
It broke us down in to the lies
Survive the tortured tears we cried
It's not the life we hoped to find
It's knowing that our peace is kind
I cannot say where this will be
Just casting pain into the sea
