a cherry in a knot
we're tied together
connected and yet so distant

i can't help but wonder how long it'll be
until you begin to see
the love i use to set me free

in this together
we fight our very best
perhaps one day
we'll learn to forget

the skin ridden trauma
the way our parents boil hot like a sauna
the cherry knots that we sow together with our tongues

i've dreamt of you in my arms
and your splendour in my grasp
and the double cherries that seem to triple whenever you smile

i can't help but wonder
just how much we're in this together
