BRIDGE ACROSS THE TOAD
Bridge across the road
Shall we cross it together
Or leave forever
In the darkness?
Go our separate ways
In days ahead
Look back
Into the darkness of night
When our only bond was fear?
Our only light is
The love not spoken.
Dare we eat a peach?
Do drugs?
Get mugged?
Take my hand
I'll take your hand
Fearless
Only the future
Confuses us
What we have is now
Do we feel alive
Do more than survive?
Halfway point of no return
Look down at the traffic
Flowing like metal water
This way or that?
Are you as scared as me?
Do we have to be afraid
Of ourselves?
If we can't conquer that
We have no future
If we can
A new day dawns
Unsure unsettled
Driven by desire
You lead I'll follow
I'll lead you follow
Blind as love
Staggering towards?
Nervous laughter
We know we share
Let us go then
You and I
Under a sodium sky
Hands clasped knowing
Our only uncertain certainty
Is each other.
