A second here,

A second there,

A little thought,

A little prayer

A share of words,

A share of love,

From deep inside,

From up above

We build ourselves,

Up from the floor,

We chip away,

Til there's no more

Take some of this,

Leave some of that,

A little kiss,

A lover's spat

Endless prattle,

To fill the void,

Gripping silence,

Thoughts to avoid

Lifelong habits,

Languid and slow,

Familiar sights,

We'll never know

Knowns and unknowns,

Spread near and far,

Each determines,

A piece of what we are.
