as she cries she
rests her heavy mind onto
the kneeled piano, rivers
running down patchwork cheeks, crashing
oceans on fire to the ivory keys, surrounding
the last song.

it will sound until the
wind that has been knocked,
kicked, slammed out
of her ceases to blow her
to and fro between
worlds, and
lays to rest her heavy
heart somewhere
in between.

she will not find her way to one,
or the other, and
will drift, arms
splayed, legs
splayed, hair afloat around a nowhere,
nothing face, and
her heavy soul will be forever
lost.

After you leave, I smoke cigarettes until
I can go to the bathroom and
Throw everything up; all these stupid,
Useless feelings, and
They lie in the toilet until
I flush them away.

there's not a day
that i don't
wish myself away;
i cant keep struggling
much longer.

there's not a way
that you can
make me stay
cause theres no chance for me
to be stronger.

somewhere,
(deep inside)
i believe that maybe,
maybe you can
save me, but

i know
that you don't have much
love to give
and no time
to persuade me, but

i
just want to let you to know
that i don't feel so low
when you're
around

and i
aint got the courage to be
free
but you help me
get my feet off the
ground; baby,

baby
its time for me to say
goodbye, for
i cant bear to cry
anymore,
and baby,

baby
my whole life has been a
lie
and its time for me
to soar.

i have spent
too many days
in a home that is not
mine,

living
in a full house, a
house stuffed full of life, but
in an empty world, and

it is sad
to waste away
slowly,
alone.

what a simple question,
yet one i cannot ask;
why a simple question,
and so delicate a task?

am i a fool to go on this way;
will i be a fool tomorrow?
but what is it that i've to lose -
i've naught to lose but sorrow.

am i seeing things, in your eyes,
am i reading far between the lines;
such simple things, but i cannot bear,
to lose the softness of your hair

and other parts.

am i fooling myself into love,
a love that isn't real;
for you don't seem to understand:
it is i who cannot feel, and

i want, so much
simply to hold your hand,
to feel the tingles of your touch
but i know that you can't understand

that i am so far gone, and

a million worlds away from
your smell, your taste, your touch -
from your love, and i want it so **** much (to stay),
but i

am so far gone, and

a million worlds away

Between us there are
Scant inches, a
Microscopic amount of
Space, surging with the
Electricity of our silence, as

Everything
Unsaid lies over us, between
Us, everything lies
Heavily
In our minds.

I find that
There are so few places, now,
Left untainted with giddy
Memories, everything seems to nag me into
A nostalgic depressing, that

Leaves me
Lost, and desolate, desperately
Clutching at
Straws, reading
Between the lines, searching

For some sort of
Resolution, some sort of final
Absolution that will
Help me
Understand

Why
Everything has changed,
Why I
Have
Changed.  

Between us, there are
Scant inches, but
Our minds are so
Far away, and
Miles apart.

I had Forgotten
about this place, where
we used to sit
together, speculating about
life.

I Found it, today, where we
used to laugh, and
kiss, and
I sat there
alone, feeling the
shadow of only months ago whisper
regrets
into my soul.

Sometimes,
the way that things
come to pass is
beyond my understanding, and
I am torn up,
shredded,
split into a billion directions, unsure of
where they will return to, where
they will go, but

I have Never cried over you.
