every step you take
reverberates within these four walls
so you take care your steps are light
moving with utmost caution on tip toe
the soles of your feet
barely brushing the cold hard floor



the diffraction of your reflection
forming spots of bright light
where the points of your beauty intersect
all your flaws seem to fade
with one look at your face



the hum of silence, lingers
ringing, high pitched, in my ears
i do not love you
for that i will not love you



strung out
praying for some saving grace
to a higher power a higher being
doesnt it ever make you wonder



still when we've fallen out with friends
they claim we're still allowed the fig leaf of 'reconciliation'
nobody told us reconciliation
would still subject to cold hearts and disconcerting looks



when every part of me just wants to stop
stop this rage of war within me
i try to hide a bundle of nerves i really am



dont blow the shade
its the only thing thats keeping us under
the only thing thats keeping out the sun



slow jams make my heart beat a little slower
make me forget the jar on my breakfast table
or the crazy traffic jams out on the streets



saturday mornings speak of
hearty meals, get togethers and warm conversations



dreams of strangers, distant faces
people i dont know but recognize




i was bored.




i bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
to watch the stars crash in the sea.
