There you were
You’re always laughing at me
Is that how life’s supposed to be?
...
The poet is old, wrinkled
She sleeps after her
Life-long dreams
Head sunk into the cooling sand
...
Go on
Block me
From your world
You’re life
...
Expression Blank,
She reveals little,
She doesn't understand the world,
She’s socially dyslexic
...
Something inside of me
Won’t let me get this out
...
Father I’m listening
To all your travels and plans
Take me away
From all this troubled land
...
God can’t tell us
God can’t save us
God can’t wipe our tears
God can’t save us from our fears
...
You told me all I needed to know
Somehow you came amidst the vacant show
To tell me something I might fear
Something I don’t want to hear
...
She sits upon a naked chair
Watching the naked sky
Out the window of uncertainty
She wants to stand and fly
...
