In The Concrete Garden
He don't trust and run with guns
swears to me, he can't be loved
hurt inside from not having anyone
riding around with music loud
to block the voices in his head
Momma left and daddy did too
he grew up alone
finding family in people that killed
violence in adolescence
sprouting evil in his concrete garden
feeling that was the only thing that could grow
She had a garden dead
momma was violence at the mouth
daddy only came through once a year to cause pain
strangers walk the halls of a foreign house
she never felt at home there
feelings of anger killed her garden
all that remained was the soil
nourished with her dead happiness
So she carried her soil
placing it on his empty concrete
stacked higher and higher
a place of potential is created when they are together
And so she takes his hand and places it in hers
as they sit together and watch love bloom
from the space created by them both
the unlovable and corrupt boy has found her
her who loves him and brings peace
and the abandoned and abused girl has found him
him who protect and cherishes her
This girl has found a home
home in his heart
feeling something invincible
how to say I have...
love, love for a thug
