Shadow Boxers - Ezio

shadow boxers face the wall

not to be alone

they pray it isn’t so

there must be some where they can go

they’ll never fall

or take chances at all

taking back the things they’ve said

no longer seeing red

shadows on a wall

there must be something we don’t know

they’ll never fall

or take chances at all

and even if cars park where they say they will be

will that bring us all joy and added security

when even the lonely are allowed to feel free

and no one feels guilty by eleven am

not even the truants or adulterous men

for they only break what they think they can mend

but there are times when we must pay

for decisions that we’ve made

whether deceiving or deceived

there was a time I did believe

that we’d never fall

or take chances at all

and shadow boxers face the wall

not to be alone
