The Very Same Poison

In those midnight rooms
Courses through my family
And through you

Your words are tributaries
That feed a toxic sea
Maybe there was love once
Now you deny the very core of me

For years the ugly weather gathered
Chatter whipping up into a squall
You stagger as the plates shift
Wrap yourselves in dark acreage
Fear of loss of order drives it all

It touched you early
The strong hand of some leader
Now the zealot changes clothes
And you’re frightened so you follow where he goes

Our loyalties have changed
But how I miss those days
When the freedom we both wanted
Looked the same

I’d rather heed the wisdom you gave me long ago
You said "Go slow and steady"
Said I’m “exceptional”
Guess I know what to do
Wipe my tears and save myself from you

*

Strange child
You’re gonna rocket out of there
The gusts will take your hair
Caress your open palm
Deep in the weeds of you
You’ll know that although pain made them cruel
You were always OK

Drive child
Push it to the floor
Drive child
They can’t shrink you anymore
