Certainty Where There's Plenty Of Doubt Poem by Peter Strugnell

In this world of concrete and steel
there's a softer side i want to feel
is it right that we should be apart?
falling out, we've made it an art

and it seems so wrong, the distance between us
there is no reason to fight and fuss
oh how i long for your embrace
find it in your heart to grant me grace

Tenderness in a world that is hard
a whisper heard above the shouts
stability within a house of cards
certainty where there's plenty of doubt

our foolish pride is fooling noone
yes pride when all is said and done
let's talk through all of our differences
break down the barriers and the fences

let's have a go at building the bridges
it's as hard as climbing mountain ridges
the heart cries out for the human touch
to continue to be apart is too much

your love gives me shelter from the storm
when the spirit is tattered and torn
and when in my head the buzzing won't stop
just the touch of your hand means a lot

and as the flower grows and bends towards the light
i won't give you up, not without a fight
forget all that's happened in the past
let's keep it together and make it last
