Lights Gone Dim On Mainstreet

Summary:
When we lose are way we lose it all

I see you      
you see me      
we see nothing at all      
hand in hand
we walk into our willing blindness    
I speak      
you speak      
we don’t understand any of the words      
tongue on tongue tied into a tight knot      
you listen      
I listen      
the noise is so loud we can’t hear      
the lights have gone dim on main street      
avenue empty and cold      
we keep waiting for just a flicker      
its dark and the storefronts are closed      
I hurt you      
you hurt me      
for the gold in our teeth      
can’t we leave it alone      
I swing      
you swing      
solving nothing at all      
my blood your blood flowing and ready to clot      
I cry      
you cry      
street sweepers have swept      
lights have gone dim on main street      
what’s been torn remains torn      
kept waiting for a chance at a glimmer

couldn’t pay the bill    
we turned the light switch off

    1. Powerfully penned, Bat. Another excellent write with deep layers of truth my friend. All the hospitals are being shut done in rural areas as well. This was on point brother. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.
