Tired and weary
I climb my ivory tower
And sit above those
That wish to tear me down

My heart and mind
Go out to all
And give to those
That need my silence most of all

Lend me your soul
And I'll give you my ears
To bend until they break
Because I love you so

And when I'm there
To listen to your last
I hope you'll think of me more
Than just a friend

Tell me where your heart lies tonight
If not with me, then some other way
Too fearful to stand, you shy away
Back into the cosmic glow of
All that will ever be and more
One time, a wife
Four times, a *****
May my tears and fire take your heart to shore
And in The End
The Very End
You'll find my heart cries for more

Soft and sure you walk with me
With feet that kiss the warm horizon
Your hand in mine, we swim for shore
And kiss eternity forevermore
We smoothly glide into the night
To face the dawn in warm embrace
And wait for morning's soft reply

Empty killing noises
That work to flatter futility
Like a figure in the night
I am a figment of your imagination
Like tattoos on old wounds
You help me hide from what will always remain
So when you let some guy ******* tonight
You will find the words that slither from his tongue
To be oh so clever
Which leaves me to wonder
What I didn't say to keep you forever

Sharp tears sit
Like soft diamonds
On her sharp,
Angular face
Dark brown eyes
Pour forth the pasts
Of those who were kept
Silent...
And made to be
Still...
She cries today

I wish you would just wake up
And not stare at me through those closed eyes
Because not seeing you has been
Killing me lately and I wish I
Could just finish a simple
Thought that you were okay
I'll ask again anyway
Are you?
Awake?
Or fading away again
Into urgent, impatient
Pale Dreams

Walk away…
Into the deep summer sun
Each step an imprint
A reminder of who you once were

Look to the sky
Look to your future
You are there
Waiting for yourself
