We Must Have Looked Like Freaks
We look back and remember …
Things only seen
From the inside
From the outside
We must have looked like freaks.
Monsters worse
Than those we chased
Killed
Burned
Bleeding
On the sofa
Dad
Is there
Not there
When is he coming home?
What is home?
Home is in the heart
Our hearts
Us
Who we are
Where we are
Nothing else matters
But us
Only us
He stays for us
We stay for him
Our lives
His life
One for all
And all for one
Her
Mary
Mother
He grieves
We remember
More of him
Than of her
Day
To night
Dark
To light
Walking still
Together when apart
Apart when together
Standing fast
Family
From the inside
From the outside
We must have looked like freaks.
