Token Valentine's Day

A million voices laughing loud
And I'm alone again tonight
Don't talk of fishes in the seas
Don't whisper words of Valentines

And it's 38 steps
From my front door
Completely sober
Making my bed
On the floor
Falling over

Don't tell me that it's the kind of night
For staying under the covers
When I know it's not the time
For recovering lovers

It's not the time for us
I guess it never was

22

She sees
She feels the pain
And when her daughter tries to ask her
She says, 'it's hard to explain.'
Cause she feels,
With out.

Late night
Tap dance
Old movies, with romance

Scanning the channels for a sign

She says, 'if I can just find the right program;
There's a piece of myself I want back.'

But there's nothing on

She sings;
Closes her eyes
And when the sun starts raining down on her
It's been a short night
She's with out
And she knows now

She says, 'if I can just find the right man;
There's a piece of myself I want back, from him.'

But there's nothing on
Nothing good is ever on.

Bleach

She's a thousand broken down distractions

That I just don't seem to feel anymore

And when I close my eyes to think of us

I'm alone on sun lit shores

And I know now we were just passing by, casting shadows on each other's hearts

Still I wish I'd stayed a little while longer in the dark

[Poem] You and I

Love in the time of my last suicide
Where my end justifies the means each time
Always leaves me wishing for a last refrain

Born again in a cold November
Raised in the city by a kindly stranger
Just to find that I'd arrived too late

You and I are always yes and
You and I are always yes and
You and I are always yesterday

Woke too late, just to find you sleeping
A handmaiden's daughter barely speaking
Married to a man who was married to the game

I spoke quietly, you don't remember
How it was that last December?
You just shrugged and then you turned away

You and I are always yes and
You and I are always yes and
You and I are always yesterday

Maybe there will be tomorrow
Maybe we will be tomorrow
Maybe there will be no tomorrow

[Poetry] Over You

Wake up and I go 'round again 

Same old, same old 

Ask me how I've been of late 

Same old, same old 

Returning the questions to you 

Same old, same old 

Same old motions we go through 

Same old, same old 

I've been warned and warned myself 

Thought it through over and again 

Everything says it's time to move on 

Everyone says the end's the end 

Time to just accept the truth 

But in truth, I'm over getting over you

Aberration

In another world
The table's turned
You're in love
I the one that spurned
In another world
We've called it quits
A messy divorce
Forever split
While in another world
We've not yet met
We'll never meet
That's the end of it
In another world
I'm killing you
While in another world
You're killing me too.

But somewhere
I know
That we are
Are so
In love

In another world
It's suicide
You'll know me only
As a day's headlines
In another world
We're on the street
A quick glance
Is all we'll see
While in another world
It's your wedding day
I'm the minister
As you're given away
In another world
I'm haunting you
While in another world
You're haunting me too

But somewhere
I know
That we are
Are so
In love
