AFTER LOVE AND FEAR
After
love and fear, there’s pride
After
tears, the night
After
all the words are gone,
A
chair with just one light.
After
memories, the dream
That
you will come home safe
After
sleep, another day
Of
waiting for my life.
After
hope, the happiness
Of
thinking of your love
After
moments of despair
A
stone no thought can move.
After
all the sacrifice,
The
hunger and the pain,
The
passions and the promises,
The
losses and the gains,
There’s
nothing but my love for you,
Which
waits upon the wind
To
bring you from the barricades
