Some hold the heaviness of the world in their heart
I only cradle this silly wee thing
It sits in my heart like the tooth on my chest
It niggles away, a tickling sensation
But this silly wee thing is mine
and mine alone!
If it were not to be here then surely
neither would I

Their not broken
I'll take those glasses from your head
Cleaning them with my breath and a soft cloth
The smudges disappear easily
When we reminisce  

With eyes clear you can see it all again
And what lies ahead is sunny once more

The street is full of the nights left-overs
We sit under the dead orange glow
I take a glance at your face, scared
Its twisted look of
Confusion
Sadness
Exhaustion
makes my body twist itself
Until I have shrunken so tiny
I could sit upon the pin
that I just stuck into your chest
My pocket gives three sharp beeps

Are you coming?

Your not stupid
Your face tells me that

I'm not going to do this again

You say, pained
as you pull out the pin
I take your hand and hold it tight
Our skin blends together, but i want it too
I
Love
You
and no one else
despite tonight's activities
We rise from the cold
Shake the glow off our shoulders
And watch as the sweeper takes away the streets mess

Your anger did not phase me
as what was digested took control
and I stepped tenderly
onto the eyelid garden

Who would think now
that we had ever been so close?
Sometimes even I struggle to remember.
But I do remember,
clinging to your skin so tightly,
as stories of spirits rolled from our tongues
like ones breath in a morning frost.
We watched them watch us,
Eyes play tricks in dark bedroom corners,
And so it was till after 7 am
that I was finally brave enough
to fall asleep.

Do you remember?
We've known of each other for a while now.
When did we meet?
I can't remember what I said, every nights the same,
You weren't even there that time!
But she told me, and didn't we sit and chat?
The night we first meet.

It was cold,
Every night is cold!  
I wore my blanket of cheap wine, numbing my body..
Numbing your mind! What were you thinking?!
Do we ever ******* think?
He smiled at me,
Me too.

We danced, didn't we?
Yes, it was lovely.
When was the last night that happened?
Every night, I don't know,
They have blurred and merged.
I need to sleep, I'm burning the candle.
Now now, you don't want to miss out on the fun.

If you don't go tonight, they'll forget your name.
You don't know each other, not in reality.
He'll be there, and you know what she's thinking..
Do you want that to happen?
I can't believe this is happening!
How long has it been?
I feel like I've known you my entire life..

With each sip, each inhale
The lights and sounds cut all senses,
Keep up! Or you'll get lost,
Get lost in the ever changing shapes and colours.
The kaleidoscope mirrors are made for illusion..
Is it real? I can't tell. But I can tell, for the moment,
It is beautiful.

Soon I will wake up again
to the day I next see you
Like an old fashioned photograph
this day will be tinted a sunny rose
Making everything look like a summer's afternoon

Soon I will step out of this bed
and into your arms
I'll stretch pastel roses across your shoulder's skin
with a touch of peach pinching our tongues
We will watch the sun set

And as this sun says goodbye
the stars rise from their daylight slumber
Cold will seep through the soil, climbing the blades of grass
to tickle the soles of our bare skinned toes
And off are we to begin our own solid slumber

Only to find, that soon we will wake up again.
