Gun Lobby

Gun Lobby

Now

I think I know what I need.
I think I can tell
where this might lead.
Can we stop,
here, now, in this place?
Can you put your hands on my face
and kiss my pain away?
I need to know that you see how I’ve felt
all this time, that
it’s no one’s fault
but I’ve made myself small and alone
by believing my shame.
So, can we stop, here, now?
Can you put your hands on my face
and kiss my shame away?
I’ve been in a hole, I’ve been split in two
not feeling whole
all this time, feeling lonely beside you
And I know you’ve need me too.
