She breathed into me life I've forgotten
Antidotes, spoken into life by the voice of an angel
        The sweet lines she knew I craved
                      I'm helplessly hers.

Do you remember seeing the caramel sky, retire under the horizon? With sandy clothes and a shoe pillow,  we lied and watched the tide in?  

Didn't think so.  It wasn't a very memorable time.
No lights nor music, and no confessions, just you were there and I.

Is that a star, or is that a plane? we debated until we bore.
Weightless, meaningless words, exchanged upon the shore
  But I remember everything.

Under the eternal night sky, and beside the vastness of the ocean, its easy to feel small and morose.

But i swear that forgettable time with you I was high above the cosmos.

Dreaded awakening
no longer sheltered from that which I fear.

for reality is the open cell that i share with him..
the stranger

Oppressive, voracious being, but not of blood nor flesh he thrives
he stalks and plots wickedly
from a veil behind my eyes

Every moment, a battle of control
i tire and grow weaker
a battle for my soul

alone i fear this stranger most for this is when he's brave
fortifying himself in my shell while dragging me away

I crawl away and lay in darkness

waiting for the sunrise

It never comes, for I've become, the stranger in my eyes.
