Us & Them

She sees me
For more or less
Of what I am

She sees my sorrow
Wanting to be glad
And some of the mistakes

She sees
Only what she wants to
No more no less

She forgives
As I forgive her
A thousand times

She is my love
Fleeting and wanting
As a perennial stream

I see her
And she sees me
Imperfectly

I saw them
And their appetites
For violence

They saw me
And us
Coming for them

The end
No-one would see
But me
