i feel your promises
as i see your prayers
i see your smiles
as i feel your sorrows
there’s a world within
and a world without
even with this warmth
under this blanket of filth
open your heart
and discard your niceties
be raw and benign
and let the light in
i am as temporary as you
i am as permanent as you
you are as broken as me
you are as whole as me
like for like
tit for tat
