Somewhere in South End when you were fun
You took my hand and you made me run
Up past the prison to the seafront
You climbed the cliff edge and took the plunge
Why can't we laugh now like we did then?
How come I see you and ache instead?
How come you only look pleased in bed?
Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again

I know my words will dry upon the skin
Just like a name I remember hearing
Wild winter, warm coffee
Mom's gone, do you love me?
Blazing summer, cold coffee

What's the immaterial substance
That envelopes two,
That one perceives as hunger
And the other as food.
I wake in tangled covers,
To a sash of snow,
You dream in a cartoon garden,
I could never know.
Innocent imitation, you are cast in gold,
Your image a compensation for me to hold.
Parallel lines, move so fast,
Toward the same point,
Infinity is as near as it is far

Your prettiness is seeping through
Out from the dress I took from you
So pretty
And my emptiness is swollen shut
Always a wretch - I have become*
So empty
And please, please don't leave me

I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
I'm hoping she will soon explode
Into one billion tastes and tunes
One billion angels come and hold her down
They could hold her down until she shines

I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
It tastes like **** and I must say
She comes and goes most afternoons
One billion lovers wave and love her now
They could love her now and so could I

There is no Naomi in view
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
And if she only really knew
One billion angels could come and save her soul
They could save her soul until she shines

So pretty

*And please, please don't leave me here.

Mama loves a mask
And if she’d only ask
The questions right
She’d know

Mama loves a mask
A girl inside a flask
Smoldering sleepless nights
Throwing crosses out the window

He could never lie
No he could only make me true
But they won’t understand the colors
Inside the brilliant mind that I call you

So please lay low, just smile
Play the game for now, beguile
Duplicitous and all the while
She loves me so

Mama loves a fairytale
The girl who’d never sin
Taking sips of ginger ale
Instead of shots of gin

Mama loves a fairytale
And once I loved her too
I never knew that when I’d think
I’d lose my mind and start to sink
And as I learned I grew
Out of the mask you made for me
You’ll love me someday soon

The sweetest sigh my breezy vow
To indicate the ways you love me how
Did the hours pass before us
While the waking world ignores us
Crumple up the faded sheets again
Let’s spend
All our income on the nights
We whispered soft in broken lights
And broken bottles don’t stand a chance
Baby dance
Ainsley Jan 2017
Oh the mind is too stubborn to let the heart go
It seems the less I believe,
The more that I fear
The things I don’t know
Yet the chaos resolved
Is less in my mind
Than the people around
The sight and the sound
Of this beautiful life
