If you happen to pass by
the place where we grew up
the house on the hill with
an annex full of OAPs,
If you happen to pass by
as the snow melts under
a rising sun uncovering
the winter sand, a gritty
place with curtains drawn
and out of the corners of
condescending eyes tears
of bile; stinging their
perfect lives,
If you happen to pass by
and someone ask what became
of me, what purpose did I fulfil,
did I ever marry and spawned like
the plan God made, did my faith
ever return, did grace show her
blessed face, did I even care
If you happen to pass by
tell them: no he did not
tell them: no he did not
the path he walked was his
in shoes to big to fill,
a winter soldier with
a cold heart
still beating
