Rust

Seems like you and me are stuck together
Feels like we've never been apart
Seems like you are my skin of supple leather
Seems like your blood pumps through my heart

Feels like we couldn't be un-joined
Seems like I am your sister, you're my brother
Feels like a phrase yet to be coined

But maybe we find a thing that cannot be ignored
That will leave a standing naked on a stranger's iron shore

Seems like I am to you a vital organ
Feels like you are to me the air
Seems like without your night I'd have no morning
Feels like you'll always want me here

But maybe there's something that could never be foreseen
A fragile thing that rusts inside our finely honed machine

If we should ever be untethered
If somehow we should end
If we could not go on together
Apart you'd be my good and trusting friend

Seems like a letter written to a cover
Feels like a note I'll never send
