We Used To, We’re Used To

The little difference
Between what we meant
And how it was understood
My bleeding blend of thoughts
A blend of blood and sweat
As how boxers earn their keep

As droplets pour
To cause this flood
Sweeping whatever courage needed
to cross the street
Seeping the stifling image
That stranglehold of defeat

Demands to call it a day
Wasted and slain
Hope ran like a train
Ended like vain sacrifice of Cain
