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.
