Once More We Have Returned

Once more we have returned
From a trip to the forest
Punctured on the highway
Ruptured in the broad way
Once again we have returned
From the trip we never planned

Once more we have returned
From a trip to the ghost land
We drank the contents of the empty cups
Pacified were we with pains
Our hearts linger in imbalance
When the kisses of our foes persisted
Once more we've returned from the promise land
Though we never went
