I let you go now and
The world drips by
Slowly leaking, falling, away
Do you remember the time
We built a home
Where you could almost see
The city lights From the balcony, but not quite
There were palm trees, and the soft breeze
Kiss’d me softly each night,
Then awake to the sun
Beaming through the blinds -
Simmering Burnt our eyes Into flames
Think of me
Like a knife
Cut the heart strings
Had me tied,
We were for all time
Here’s some Apocalyptic after life
Zombie shell
You are like a
Secret kept from me
By my own mind
For protection
Of some kind
So sweet
And serpentine
Serenity;
When we kissed so lightly
For the first time
By the gallery.
Sweet boy
Didn’t come to me
Not really
Had him in the corner
Of my Heart shaped box
That was sharp around the edges
Already, He climbed the walls
He can’t look down To me
Afraid to fall
And break his spine
Soft and tingling
To linger on his eyes
Is to lose a piece
Of thine
Something there within lies,
The prince of a palace
Where I could happily die
I’m sure
You scare me so
And I wonder Do you cry
Whine, whinge, change the sheets
Lie to everyone, lie to me
Do you toss and turn
Does your soul weep
When your pen touches paper
But it doesn’t leap
Forth in overcoming- Ecstasy,
Stay with me
Another hour to - Watch the stars
Perhaps And laugh about
Something, nothing; Chance!
I can hear the sound of your brain tick,
Still I could touch your forehead,
Kiss you on the nose
Somewhere in time
I had you for a moment
I suppose
And that’s enough
It wasn’t so- I’m so - And I guess I’ll go
I wish I could smoke on the step
Of the bungalow
Secretly, with a cup of tea
And Jeff Buckley
Singing softly
Moonlight through the sheer drapes hung
Smoke that clung
Pages upon pages of nonsense
My love
You were content
Smiling little happy head
Innocent lamb
Soft in bed
But she’s taken more than a couple hits
And a couple drags
And a couple kicks
To the floor
Of the apartment
Where they lived on spare change
Pack of cigarettes
Instant noodles
And false promises
Of some kind of life
