thelma & louise
blood coursing
and your hand
in mine
valour digging
into my chest
your knuckles
white
heart pounding
ears ringing
and even
surrounded
it’s always
us
the earth red
in front of us
the sky blue
and clouded with dust
you’re all there is
all there’s ever
been
just us
your hand
in mine
your heart
and mine
even with our lungs full
you’re more
more than the
dirt in the air
more than the
clouds in the sky
more than the
men in the world
all for us, for us
you and i
your heart and mine
your lips on mine
the end, or just
the beginning
and your hand
in mine
valour digging
into my chest
your knuckles
white
heart pounding
ears ringing
and even
surrounded
it’s always
us
the earth red
in front of us
the sky blue
and clouded with dust
you’re all there is
all there’s ever
been
just us
your hand
in mine
your heart
and mine
even with our lungs full
you’re more
more than the
dirt in the air
more than the
clouds in the sky
more than the
men in the world
all for us, for us
you and i
your heart and mine
your lips on mine
the end, or just
the beginning
