Certainty Where There's Plenty Of Doubt Poem by Peter Strugnell

In this world of concrete and steel,
there's a softer side i want to feel,
is it right that we should be apart?
falling out, we've made it an art.

And it seems so wrong, the distance between us,
there is no reason to fight and fuss,
oh how i long for your embrace,
find it in your heart to grant me grace.

Tenderness in a world that is hard,
a whisper heard above the shouts,
stability within a house of cards,
certainty where there's plenty of doubt.

Our foolish pride is fooling noone,
yes pride when all is said and done,
let's talk through all of our differences,
break down the barriers and the fences.

Let's have a go at building the bridges,
it's as hard as climbing mountain ridges,
the heart cries out for the human touch,
to continue to be apart is too much.

Your love gives me shelter from the storm,
when the spirit is tattered and torn,
and when in my head the buzzing won't stop,
just the touch of your hand means a lot.

And as the flower grows and bends towards the light,
i won't give you up, not without a fight,
forget all that's happened in the past,
let's keep it together and make it last.
