Another Love Song

It’s a movie still

Bent frame - 

Wondering where the side walk wondered to 

As I lost my way . 

The piano plays in my head 

As I think of us laughing 

That day under blankets 

Little did I know 

It was all 

A 

Lie . 

The soup is cold on the table 

No one is coming home tonight

Mascara runs like old lip stick stains 

You promised you could never live with out . 

I was your hero 

Kept you all together 

As you broke on the inside 

I’m lost in the black snow 

In my white dress 

They said I never belonged there 

There screaming in silent voices 

Like mimes with white faces 

And these floods won’t leave me alone 

I’m never alone . 

Red lip stick 

Stains the collar of 

Your 

Heart . 

I zip up my bags 

Ask where did the side walk part 

Like a cigarette with out a match . 

I remember this smile 

At the end of the hall . 

You grabbed my hands 

Promised it would be alright . 

Now the cuts were from your knife . 

Heavily stitched 

I was the hero . 

The escape . 

No one there 

To save me 

Left to fall

Apart .
