The coolness of the train window
Takes the heat from my forehead
Replaces it with brain freeze
The initials trickle down the pane
The hypnotic clackty clack
Lulls me into a trance
Trees and fields rush by
Straight line to the heart of my past
As the sun blinks I'm blinded
I can finally see what's in front of me
Time to go back to see the future
My childhood is waiting
To greet me in its kind open arms

She is lying very still
The tide of regret washing over her
The ebb and flow of emotions
Breathe in
Breathe out
That's all she can do
Words caught up
Tangled in the fishing net of despair
Flotsam and jetsam on the surface
The wreck of a relationship carried on   The swell
Where will it end up?
Driftwood on a deserted beach somewhere miles from here
Bleached by the sun
Crumbling to dust
Adding to the bones of long forgotten love
She will pick herself up and carry on
Time and time again
For a fleeting moment perfect
All that's left is loneliness once more
She knows in her cold scarred heart life will beat
Breathe out
Breathe in
That is all there's left to do.

Yes she said
I can't dismiss
Your kiss
The kiss
I miss so much
Dances on my tongue
Fizzes in my brain
I could never feel the same
It wasn't a game
It was real
To feel
The heat
From my head
To toe
You know
I can't go
I can't leave
I still believe
The sigh
Oh my
As much as I try
I still remember the kiss
The sigh the smile
Upon the lips that miss your kiss
I can't dismiss
The kiss
That kiss
I miss so much.

And you lied
And lied
And I believed
Your words to be true
I thought
I thought I knew you
Yes you
With the open face
The bare face
Then you lied
And lied
And I believed
Those beautiful words
How could you not
Want to live them
Breathe them
Give them to me
Unconditionally
Then you lied
And lied
And I believed
Didn't you think
Think as they left your head
Danced on your tongue
That they would cut
Cut like a knife
Did it feel like butter
That wouldn't melt
On your tongue
Then you lied
And lied
And I believed
Was that smile
An honest smile
Upon your lips
The sparkle in your eye
A sight to behold
Was it a game
Were you teasing me
Instead of pleasing me
And then you lied
And lied
And I believed
Did you taunt me
Your words haunt me
How could you stand there
Stand and make me understand
I listened
Put yourself in my position
And then you lied
And lied
And I don't believe
In your contrition

Adornment fades at first sighs the skin- again our hearts race blood pools- lastly heightened senses combine hushed voices

One life. One chance. One me. One you. One love. One question. One or two?

She sits quietly staring into the distance
Her mind can no longer pick up her feet and run
She takes a shallow breath then laughs...
Why don't you giggle too? She asks
Can't you hear me?
Can't you feel me tugging the hem of your shirt tail ?
Can't you feel my hand in yours?
Can't you feel my heartbeat in time to the thoughts in your head?
Can't you hear the promises I had with your soul?
Will you sit for a while and listen to my story? I will whisper in your ear
Can't you hear me?
A shiver on the breeze... Has she really gone?
