A million dollar face. So ivory and fair. That launched a thousand ships. Danced with Fred Astaire. Lusted for her dreams. So passionate and wild. So talented it seemed.
This ninny of a puppet was available. The second that he called. And all he had to do was yell, "Hey, Mabel". And this dumb hash slinger crawled. . For seven lousy years, I've watched him swear.
A stormy summer came and went. In the garden that we grew back then. I remember when. The single rose you gave to me. With a vow that you would never leave.
In the sky the phantom moon appears at midday. To join the sun in some forgotten dance. In their light our voices tremble with reflections. Of what we know and what we leave to chance.
There is a place inside of me. Where you are not suppose to be. Are you listening. Somehow you slip inside the walls. That's when my rusted armor falls.
I am doin' fine now. I never cry now. In fact I feel no pain at all. . You sound the same now. How's? What's her name now?. I am just surprised that you would call.
So you say your new girlfriend's a little too friendly. You caught her telling one more lie, one too many. You say she won't love you right. She stays out so late at night.
No one here to guide you now you're on your own. Only me beside you still your not alone. No one is alone truly no one is alone. Sometimes people leave you half-way through the wood.
You caught my eye without trying. You stole my heart away. From clear across the room. Somehow it was plain you felt the same. Looking back now we can't say.
This is the world I meant. Couldn't you listen?. Couldn't you stay content?. Safe behind walls, as I could not. . Now you know what's out there in the world.
I held up pretty well. The first few days I even tried to dying. To get my mind off you. . Friends said I look like hell. They said they snapped like that.
Gee whiz, look at his eyes. Gee whiz, how they hypnotize. He's got everything, a girl could want. Man, oh, man, what a prize, ooh. . Gee whiz, he's all the joy.
There goes the guy who once made me hold my head so high. There goes the guy that built my hopes and dreams up to the sky. Excuse me, oh, excuse me for staring.
Silent but distant,. Real but not seen. Here but not happening,. Forever has been. . Into this absence,. Two had but strayed. Retracing in circles,. They surrendered, dismayed.
Embedded in fertile plain. Snared in pulp and stone. Confounded being emerges. Surrounded yet alone. . Surging growth in vigour. Morbidity at bay. Hale deceives the advent.
After one but before the next,. In a tree where new life writhed and flexed. Two birds emerged to hold the world. And grow from feeble talons curled. .
Searching, the abstract colours reason. But I persist to fail in the absence of faith. Cycles bound by throes of attrition. Oft united, yet surely more is lost in time.
Fifteen times the leaves had shorn,. Trod by boy and beast. Kith and kin to fare him well. The youngling parted east. . The rite was whet and worn with time,.
Void has no resistance. As the giant stretches out. A tipping points expansion. Sets astray a solar doubt. . Warmth and glare on every crest. For cells compelled to crave.
As the candles yawned,. My world grew darker. Til barely a detail remained. . Parchment and smoke. Through distant chimes. Moths carried by the breeze.
