I was so afraid I would fall for you
I wished to fall off a train instead.
I was so afraid to be in love with you
I wished to be insane instead.

you were caught in this trap for me.
you wished for nothing but to win again.
you writhed while love had its way me
you wished to forget me instead.

I never knew that people came in pieces.
I saw their search for peace as
so absurd.

you didn't know those who are our pieces
can be earned, sometimes at such steep prices
so absurd.

and our never ending search for peace is
not quite natural, not quite learned.

But we are full of empty spaces.
till we find the our pieces of mind.

I am your peace and you are mine.
