A Leap of Faith

“Take a leap of faith” you said
“and leave this foreign place instead
where demons breathe and dreamers die
and pain and hatred coincide”
“and then what happens?” I replied
I couldn’t even if I tried”
You took my hand and said to me
“trust me, let’s just run and flee”
we race through chasms deep and wide
where some have lived and others died
through broken lands of dust we pass
as we walk on roads of shattered glass
just you and me against the world
where hopes and dreams begin to blur
we run for days, for years and more
and witness all from birth and war
we know our destination though
but which paths are we supposed to go?
“you’re waiting for a train” you said
“one that picks up those who fled
but it doesn’t matter where it stops
because together we will always walk.”
