It was a day like no other
The day of you and me
Think of hurt that played a part
Of so many nights before
Do you think running away will do any good?

Do what you like
Marbles can be found
Have you ever looked
At a picture
And after looking at it for a while
It moves
Looking in the darkness
One slip you are over the edge
Are you back there?

Hovering
When I was a kid I would dream
In sequence
Dreams conform to the notes
Then for a long time I didn’t dream at all
Then one night I fell asleep and I was in an amusement park
It was so real and there he was
Lurking and luring
Me to come
Laughing at my newness
Then there were his eyes
Deep cat blinders
The dream is out of control
I was running
Looking
Waiting
For the hurt
The pounding of the unloved
You were different , I thought I knew
I thought I was your only.....
