middle of the night
black like a panther
cold like ice
wind like owls
quiet like mice
alone
in the dark but
of my own devise
footsteps like water drops
she will not suffice
so I turn and again
I roll my dice

there is stardust in our veins
and an aching to go home
but, we don't know where that is
so we search in ourselves and when we fail
we search in others
and we tear them apart to find
ourselves, our homes
we pull out every stitch and search inside
for safety, for something
because we don't know who we are
or where we belong
and sometimes we think
that kind of refuge, must be
somewhere outside of us
in someone else, and we won't ever stop
looking, or breaking
every heart, without even knowing
because when we don't find what we want
two empty souls remain
and neither realises
the answer was always
within themselves

weren’t we so in love
    we didn’t have a clue
  how you loved me
and I loved you
    like a fairy tale
   or a sonnet
  nothing dressed up
just love
   but with nothing on it
  so simple we must have
missed it
somewhere along the way
   or did you know?
      too scared to admit
this
    diamond or crystal
  we found
in our eyes that we
   kept shut
     oh, it must have been
anything but
  so tell me,
        did you know?
