There is an earthquake,
it shakes me from my dreams.
As I lie awake, notably anxious,
I sift through the debris
...
Curious my love,
your touch unease’s me.
Reveal your heart,
sincerity is all I see.
...
I had an idea of a game,
the game we played was called pretend.
The rules are to say you love me,
and promise to stay till the end.
...
The kids are fed,
Mama puts them to bed.
Baby cries at half past Eight,
Daddy's comin' home late.
...
Remember This
There is an earthquake,
it shakes me from my dreams.
As I lie awake, notably anxious,
I sift through the debris
of images that had been
unfolding in my mind.
A flash of light.
A knock at the door.
Dream forgotten,
I open the door to you.
I drown myself in tears of relief,
free of my lonely nightmares.
A light is extinguished.
A door is closed.
You smooth my hair and rock me as
a mother rocks a child. Stay with
me tonight, don't forget tonight,
for together it is our last.
