In this story I always wind up alone
Replay after repeat
Repeat after pause
I cannot slow it down
Shut it off
Or turn the channel
It plays over and over again
Players never different
Mood constantly changing
The end always the same.

Best fiends are never apart.
Maybe distance is between them.
But never the heart.

she is by the window.
she seldom is anywhere.

she has a poem inside her,
waiting to be written.

her eyes a thousand nights
that seek to rise -
to gather all the stars.

Salty tears
****** tears
******* tears
Dead tears
Heartbreak tears
Please come back tears
Tell me you're not gone tears
Why aren't you here anymore tears
It's too dark here tears
I can't find the words anymore tears
My mind is numb tears
I couldn't save you tears
Suffering tears
Please hold me tears
You're not coming back tears

We...

Eat only to hunger,
Drink only to thirst,
Rest only to tire,
Defecate only to eat,
******* only to be aroused,

And so goes the merry-go-round!
