POETRY : Surrounding Ourselves by Maxwell Keyen

If I built a bed for two, would we lay face to face. Surrounding ourselves with an embrace, would we Match the space.

If I went to school for two, would we sit side by side. Surrounding ourselves with knowledge, would we Match the test.

If I went on trips for two, would we site map on maps. Surrounding ourselves with passengers, would we Match the good-byes.

Certain of how my desire may be, would you say I'm overwhelming. Surrounding ourselves with good tunes, would we Match the blues.

Uncertain of where to begin, if we hold each other hostage. Surrounding ourselves with questions, would we try enough for answers.

Before its too late, what happens on a rainy day. Surrounding ourselves with tears, would we try enough for a colourful rainbow.

O Here's something beautiful, you're still here. Surrounding ourselves with all of our flaws and glory, would we let faith decide our fate and story.
