13012 Avenue

I only walk on two way roads
Lonely as they might be
Solely my feet tread one side
The other filled with anti-company
But I always have these open arms
Yet nowhere for me to run to
Tell me your fears and tell me your secrets
I’ll keep them safe in here with mine
My shoulder is here for your head to rest
My face searching for a chest to bury in
I will stand beside & help you slay dragons
Then hurry home to fight my fires alone
So many takers
I have so much to give
Your witnessing proof of my value
But this is no way to live
