War

I let you take the lead
Take me places tonight
Where the light of this life shines through
You help wash away my pain
The blame of a past that lasted
Till you
Finally came along

Now I undo my wrongdoing for as long
As I need to wash up on this shore
Of peace
Which, I pray, prostrating, will never leave
To wage another
War
Upon myself

– Not
With you
By my side.
