A Common Place

There is a common place in all our hearts

Full of love we've gained

Full of stops and starts

Predetermined ways we lead will never be prevailed

All our romance novel lives have systematically failed

If our yearning for each other starts to bend and hurt

Then perhaps we'll fight our final battle lying in the dirt

I'll look at you on the ground

Square in the face

I'll realize that you realize that we found our common place
