Bright light shining in your face
Seening what your mother have to go throught
every day, Work day thru night, skool every moning
I think that's life, Been a straight A's student and take care
...
The white veil of morning
creeps around the house
The birds are black notes
and their song hang frozen
...
I hid you for a long time
the way a branch hides its
slowly ripening fruit among leaves,
and like a flower crystal of ice
...
When darkness awakens, my body settles gently into bed.
The events of my day race rapidly in my thoughts as I close my eyes.
Slowly, I am lulled into a peaceful sleep.
...
We enjoy each others company
but for the most part, we avoid it.
We pretend there is nothing there.
We're just friends.
