Matthew Edward Peterson (12/21/1983 / Salt Lake City, UT)

like a fallen bird
or broken radio
my brain understands
the understanding
 
but I also wish to say
that friendship is rare
and upheld
 
by knowing and caring
and he does not care
for where your heart lies
 
for what makes you stronger
and bolder and you
he does not care
 
but for his own childish insecurity
to tame such a lion
as you
 
and as you say your last prayer
and fight for
your fighting
 
i will not listen
nor answer
nor understand
 
only in the way you want
i understand
but care not
 
for the care of this bond
i tended like flock
of sheep and love
 
and maybe my cards were wrong
and maybe this song was rotten
and maybe his cage is better
and maybe
 
just maybe
 
my heart will break
and my structure quake
and my mind will lose
 
so keep walking
my friend
of mine
 
and don't look back
for your home and known
have vanished you
 
because i understand
that i won't understand
you
