Armies
I cannot be drained, I cannot be dried
Oh, the nights I’ve pained, all the tears I’ve cried
Gathered in the shell where my heart once dwelled
But it shrunk and blinked and linked
In a chain with other fellow hearts
And they came together like a puzzle parts
Spelling truths of love and joy
Would it be a girl or would it be a boy
That would come to me, bringing me my toy:
A jeweled crown on velvet cushion
And a silver key to push in
The tiny lock in my subconscious
Magnifying the proportions
Of everything I knew
Forget the past and start anew
And please don’t be afraid they say
There’re armies waiting at your aid
All has been times fold paid
In advance; come, join the parade
