i thought i was smiling
but i couldn't feel it
so i went into the
bathroom to check.
i found a stranger in the mirror.
i thought i was laughing
but i couldn't feel my own laugh
so i went into . . .

fears.
the tremor that starts at the back of the spine.
i know the devil
i know where he stays
in the twinkle that shines
from the mischievious little boy's eyes
i know where he stays
in the bullet . . .

i crossed seven hearts
and a wilderness of
ugly ducklings to find you
and all i found was
a shadow in my light.

the mirage i see is real
always before me,
within my grasp
but just out of reach.
you keep running from the obvious
wanting what impression has pressed
upon the memory created by association, . . .

time flies
and night draws near.
pillows become sodden
and hearts become heavy.
oh, the things we do for love.
thoughts fly
to faraway places, loved ones.
memories come pouring forth
like the . . .

my thoughts run wild
but all i get is a headache
no leeway, no progress.
i thought i knew myself
but these miss you nights
leave me confused.
i wrote this song
for the one who knows.

nights of light and restraint
became wild and free.
a product of the hunger for meaning,
a creation of the attraction
to flashes of light at night.
but it wasnt the same no more.

i’m going to forget tonight
maybe shred your words,
over and over until there's
nothing left, or I might just
let the night blow them away
with my headache.
my steel defenses
crumbled . . .

voices fill up the
empty spaces inside,
echoing through me
in their relentless
pursuit of each other.
but i cant be crazy,
because i'll find no
solace in the single
tear that drops, along
to the beat . . .

God is a composer
And i'm his best symphony,
Built with harmony of soul and spirit
Built in harmony with him.
The melody of his genius
Flows in my heartstrings.
I'm a marvel.
God is a painter . . .

i came into your room
to kiss you on the cheek
but you scrambled to kiss my lips.
i smelled him onyour lips
the stranger.
i can see the empty bottle
and two glasses, see your
eyes darting as you try . . .

last night i hurt myself to find out if i coud still feel.
a red stream splashed to the ground and i wrote your name, beloved. i wrote it in red.
last night i sang a slow song there was only one word . . .

i see colors, monochrome colors when you call my name.
three hours, and you looked at me, and didn't say a word, but silence is not empty.
silence speaks in colors.
so we spoke . . .

brand new
always has
the scent
of distrust.
i'd rather
have me my
old pair of
trusted and
worn shoes
than suffer
blisters in
new shoes
i hardly even
know.

the world lost it's mind
and we had us a picnic of tears.
you and i, alone,
crouching in a corner, dark
sipping cocktails made with tears.
i cracked up and you broke
into a thousand pieces of . . .

everyday
you just pine away
in grief unspoken, unshown
unrevealed, in blind stoicism.
i can see the tears of your silence.
your sadness generates more sadness
and your painting hangs on the empty . . .

i wore a face
that wasn't mine,
behind this mask of perfection.
but it only takes one truth
to reveal a million truths.
it was my best face
but it was a borrowed face.
you lent me your face
but i . . .

all my life,
i've written
words on the
pages of my
heart, on the
barks of pines,
on walls and
on beach sands.
words for you,
practice, you
might say.
all my life,
i've waited
for the chance
to . . .

within the confines of certainty.
i've never had to scream in pain

stay just a little while,
and i'll tell you words
i tell no one else.
stay just a little while
and i'll make you smile
in a way you've never smiled
before.
stay just a little while,
and i'll . . .
