Trespass

Those are safe words,

What you put in your text.
In case you are challenged,
And ultimately put to the test.

There’s a fence that you will cross,
A very obvious visible line,
Yet you think that you’re not seen
When you’re standing on the other side.

Everybody sees.
Everybody knows.
Everybody denies.
Trespass.

The weight of your burden cannot be felt
Because you carry each other’s sins for each other.
Reasons and excuses unlock the key to the gate,
So you see no need for penance to your Father.

But everybody sees.
And everybody knows.
Still, everybody denies.
Trespass.

Just because you can cross over to the other side,
Does not mean it was never a trespass.
