Lightning in the skies
Saturated clouds above
Moisture in your eyes
And should the rain ere reprise
Would you always stay beside?

Cold meat, processed cheese, making my lunch for another day*
Rolled up sleeves
Empty sheets
No one in my bed to sleep with anyway

And at work I find no reward to adore, and after driving home
I cannot help but work some more
Mostly favors of art because I'm poor

Yet no matter how busy I like to keep
I always manage to find some time
To stray into topics too often, too deep
Like what it would be like to be with her in mind

Though most every night I see my brothers, whisk their brides to be away
*It's with every dawn that I am reminded, that my life will not always be this way
Just a simple Single Man's Remind

He puts on his headphones and walks through the house.
Weaving between the family members, and the memories, darting in and out.
With only the Beatles, and an empty cup, to console himself.
He is happy to be set apart on Christmas Day, standing right beside the remnants of his former self.
Merry Christmas to all!!

The Deep

I am as calm as water with a corpse underneath. Because something is submerged, but I don't want anyone else to see. What I am struggling with, here within the murky waters I call deep.
That moment when you realize no one will care if you could even describe it. The moment when you decide to stay calm.

Watching this old movie again,
And hearing her song now like this,
Reminds me having known is enough,
Because I know that she exists.
Moon river and me....

Silent night
Unholy night
Cold, alone and filled with fright
Hands are shaking, sigaret in hand
Recalling better times if they can
Noone knows who they are
Noone knows who they are

Heaven above
Streetlamps for stove
Flickering lights in search of love
Eyes that have seen things you won't understand
Hearts so heavy they needed a hand
Knew they'd never get far
Knew they'd never get far

Ghosts all around
In this ghost town
A different silence filled with sound
Some days they see a smile sent their way
In endless night that is their dawn of day
Their eyes shine bright like the stars
Their eyes shine bright like the stars

to this day
he still holds
every piece of her soul.
he doesn't even know it,
but her heart will
always be
in his hands.

Ma Cherie
I don't know how to let you go,
or love you as you wish,

Please just help me,
I'm begging you,
Just help me,
do one -
or the other.
