Wolf Names

Close mouth, open eyes.
We’ve been living blind
And running circles out of our jaws;
Around ourselves.

You’ve been sleeping and I’ve been rehearsing
My explanation to figure the best misdirection.

Let's be honest,
Let us come close, you and I
Tongue-tied together and tethered to state-lines

So close yet...

So far apart on a night too close to call
The distance between the headlights and the hospital

Dance around, dance around these sensitive subjects.
Take a bow, we’ve fooled them all.
No one can see through us; only us.

We never understand but we always fear
Those famous last words we’ve been waiting to hear
Well it was worth waiting for

Lay back down to think of time and what it's done

I wouldn’t say it’s typical
But I’d be lying if I said I’m surprised
Stumbling the borderline
Could we pick a side?

This is even more thought-provoking than your other one that I just commented on. And it says a lot of things (even the title) that I can assimilate on a very personal level so I'm particularly appreciative of this piece. Again very nice work!

thanks alot. still in the process of editing it.
