A Key

Black on the outside

Blue on the inside

 

The rain shivers down the windshield

Of this ****** car

    That is slowly taking me back to you

         But do I want to?

             Do I want to go back and forth again?

 

                    I just want to breathe your breath once more.

 

             To feel the knife of time

         Slowly slide inside and tickle the sweet spot

     That I have tried to hide

But it’s twisted and turned around too much

 

So how does the reflection look in the mirror?

Do you ever look into you your own eyes?

Can you see mine?

                             My black eyes – which you once loved

 

They are the way

they are

from all the years

of searching

for your

weary head

 

                       Only on dark roads have I found love

                                                                                   It’s just that all of my roads end in death

                                                

                                                                              Dead end.

 

                                                                          Nowhere to go.
