I crawled in bed with him, night after night To ease the pain of losing his wife He never wanted to buy me roses No I never really was his chosen He just wanted something to take the pain away But only at night and never the day I was in love with him, so help me God But in too many a sparkling smile I was awed I thought I was the only one At first I was, but when he was done He turned his back to me on the other side of the bed And all of these wild thoughts stampeded my head The thumping of those hooves kept me awake I left him in a hurried state I drove down to the moonlit pier Walked down to the edge and without fear Dove down into a hidden citadel to which I had no key And finally, I set my heart and body free.

A Bed of Lies
I crawled in bed with him, night after night To ease the pain of losing his wife He never wanted to buy me roses No I never really was his chosen He just wanted something to take the pain away But only at night and never the day I was in love with him, so help me God But in too many a sparkling smile I was awed I thought I was the only one At first I was, but when he was done He turned his back to me on the other side of the bed And all of these wild thoughts stampeded my head The thumping of those hooves kept me awake I left him in a hurried state I drove down to the moonlit pier Walked down to the edge and without fear Dove down into a hidden citadel to which I had no key And finally, I set my heart and body free.

I have something simple to ask you Tell me What do you see in a sunset? Do you see a painting, a scattering of warm hues? Do you see a blanket of doom enveloping us As the stars come out to play? Do you see emotions? Boldness, vibrancy, laughter? Do you see the end of one thing And the beginning of another? Do you see anything deeper? Does it remind you of someone? Does it invoke thought in the deepest part of your mind? Do you ever sit out and watch the sun die? Have you ever wished that it would never end? Have you ever cried when the last bleeding rays of light Disappear over the horizon? Does it make you crave something, a cold drink perhaps? Or perhaps, someone, a girl who used to hold your hand And laugh at your jokes, even when you knew they weren't funny? Does the sunset remind you of your mother? How vividly she spoke of her hopes for you radiated in the colors Before she closed her eyes for a final time? Or does it remind you of yourself? Of how every bit of light in you died And now a starless sky reigns over a cloud of darkness? You used to watch the sunset every night Holding the roses in your hand from a sweet girl Which would soon decorate a hospital room, cold and sterile But now you watch from inside Inside a house of broken dreams, quiet hands folded in silent But angry prayer. And the twilight sun is the only beauty left in your life But tell me What do you see in a sunset?

What Do You See?
I have something simple to ask you Tell me What do you see in a sunset? Do you see a painting, a scattering of warm hues? Do you see a blanket of doom enveloping us As the stars come out to play?
