Entry

View from the roof top of your iris
Seems clouded .....
I sit and conversate with your demons
They can't hear me right .

I'm screaming at the gate .
I watch you holding hands
With a ghost

I hold hands with the past

I carry this letter
I can't find the author
Signed by you

Panic Room

Funny how a familiar smile becomes forgotten
And a laugh that once saved you
Is lost like a stranger -
On a crowded street in New York -

I fancy the way blankets and fingers crossed us
On Mondays

Or the way the city lights hummed as we drove
On Tuesdays

It's Friday now - and we can't spell our names
I love you / written on a steamed bathroom mirror

Lost when you opened the door to say good bye

It's not supposed to end that way ,

It's not supposed to begin that way either

Asleep

Collateral she says 

Button missing 

Fix me please ? 

I'm not the one she says ..... 

He pleads his case - 

I shake my head 

I'm left here alone 

With graffiti on my walls 

Doesn't quite keep her warm 

Phone is ringing 

"What's the harm , "he says 

"Of course ," he says 

As she waits alone - 

The thing is 

He won't even read this letter 

He's not even brave enough to save me 

Not even brave enough to save himself 

Reverse

I'm not sure why 

She said 

The phone went dead and suddenly 

So suddenly the connection was lost - 

I went over the story 

About the boy 

Doesn't matter does it ? 

How many times we cry ? 

I watch the airplanes fall from the sky 

I hold his picture every night 

But darling 

No ones left holding 

On the phone 

Gambling your last penny 

Drinking your last shot at the bar 

Betting your last smile 

Of this memory 

I'm telling you don't look back 

The cost is left in the wonder 

Your value a broken mirror 

Paid in full with his debts 

So let me tell you about a boy 

The phone went dead suddenly 

So suddenly 

Faces

If It was about the value of this penny 

All the change in your pocket wouldn't do

It's not about me , it was always about what they saw in you - 

I walked around with out a mirror for so long , passing strangers , face planted in the ground 

Back faced into the crowd 

Invisible 

But it was you 

The one you couldn't face 

All along - 

It was your weight I carried 

On the shelf 

I toss the penny in the well 

Staring eye to eye now in the crowd 

Sometimes me 

Sometimes them 

A pocket of change 

Your regret 

Fiths

There's a candle

Half lit 

Ashes breaking in winters Sky 

I put my puffy red lips together 

Blow you a kiss - 

I'm rummaging through band aids 

And blankets - 

How does she hold you 

How does she mend you 

It's all the same dear ...... 

Come sit with me 

Snow flakes falling 

Not one ever the same 

I'll take you for a ride tonight 

Make you believe everything's all right 

To bring you back to life again - 

The wax has become cold 

I search for you under the snow 

I wish I could 

I wish I could 

Change nightmares to dreams
