One Secret Passage Poem by Timmy Tubbs

The gauze cover the battles and dismiss the questions
They turn the faucet to our tears
Unleashing deadly fears
They mudded the walls to our castle
With one secret passage out
From there, you pulled apart the bushes
Those watchful blues peaked around then crawled
Through the only way out, your knees catching the dirt
Finding grass that opened those bendy blues
And the better man, the beast
On the other side, sleeping below a thick tree
He sits up to you
“That is not how things are suppose to be.”
A nervous smile floats over a reaching hand
“Take my hand and come with me.”

You crawled so fast you dropped your box
It met my feet as I looked to the ground
I was still looking for your key
When I realized these soft words I still must repeat
“It doesn’t matter. Just as long as you are happy.”
It’s just a shame, what you had to do
Skipping in the distance, placing this man in your background
This man eats alone
This man truly loves you
Back burned, scars boiling, stumbling away
It’s weird; Somehow those blues
Steal everything I wanted to say
