Lockdown

The prime of our lives, for time undefined
In our penthouse cave our joints turn to rust
You hunt for outside tales, I gather dust
We gnaw at the scraps of new we can find

Every joke is in, we lose our one mind
Take turns screaming that our bubble might bust
Many mundane moments forming a crust
A shield of vines and time slowly entwined

But still, you grow, through cracks you find the light
Eyes bright, standing bravely, you persevere
"She keeps on running," ambition alight
In a crisp flash you dance and sing and cheer
Cradling all the secrets we share at night
My love, with you, I'd go another year
