As I Looked Into Your Eyes,
I Pretended It Didn't Hurt,
So Familiar They Traced The Scars,
Along My Rigid, Empty Heart

Can you not see I'm dying

no blade
no bullet
no poison down my gullet

no rope
no river
no liquer in my liver

no pills
no pillow
no stakes of sharpened willow

but I'm dying all the same...

dying

to be with you again



my love.

Let me be the razor blade
you glide across your wrist
let me be the bottle
when you long to get ******
let me be the cigarette
you smoke through trembling lips
let me be the calories
You fear upon your hips
let me be the mirror dear
that lies when you undress
let me be the meds you take
when your minds a mess
let me be the phone call
unanswered by a friend
let me be the tear drops
you shed at each days end
let me be whatever
it is you feel you need
coz I will NEVER let you be...

I'll always intercede

You're the air
that fills my lungs
with

every kiss.

China doll why do you weep
your tears of porcelain
is it because your eyes of glass
reflect your life of pain

Take your time
and mine
and from these moments
form one day
one hour
of solitude for us to share...

let nothing here
intrude

break not this gentle silence
with wasteful
words
fill up each pause with tender looks
a lovers touch
a lingering kiss
just take your time
and mine
to enjoy these perfect
moments.

Let's exchange our pillows...

to share
in one anothers

dreams.
