We ran,
far away from home,
with nowhere to go
and no one to hold.
We were alone.

And when they began
to follow our flight,
we both tried our best,
with no time to rest,
but we couldn’t hide.

So we fought
in the one way we knew.
Our hands in the air,
but they didn’t care.
What they said was true.

We thought
that they’d understand,
but their words cut like knives.
We pled for our lives,
and still held our hands.

Then we
fell down on our knees.
Our eyes hit the ground,
our voices were drowned.
But we begged them “Please”.

We could see
our silhouettes disappear.
They took us away,
they lead us astray,
but I held you near.

The sun
shone upon us both.
With sand in our eyes
we looked to the sky
as we felt it close.

Now we run,
to places unknown,
with nowhere to go,
and no one to hold.
We are alone.
