Maybe

Maybe when our bones aren’t so heavy

And our words are less venomous

We’ll be right for each other

Maybe after we’ve grown a little more

Or stopped pretending to be so smart

We’ll finally get along

Maybe tomorrow we’ll find a road we can both walk

Or a town big enough for the two of us

That way we can fit inside each other’s world

Maybe when we empty our cups

And make some room for the unknown

We’ll begin to know one another

Maybe when we aren’t so tired

And our bodies aren’t so restless

We will at last be at peace

Maybe if we just start to talk

And listen just a little

We’ll find love in our broken place
