Furtive night fulfillment. Friends without reprieve. Acknowledgement (not displaced reproach) among the city's midnight needs. The truth is sad and silly. Bottle sweat within your hand. You watch the streetlights coalesce into the mud of your palm's sand. You sip the taste so small and smooth and sweet. You eye the clock, crushed between your feet. You'd like to call someone else alone. To let her keep a reason for her phone. If they could just dig up your sad fire. If they'd ever stop to watch the crowd. Milling feet and hands beyond your door. Just a sea of people without shore. Such a summer ocean made in passing. Just some missing moments for the sun. Such a floor of dust and summer hopes. A bed of singed stung dreams for someone. She said burn ... together. |

Seeing as how I'm not much on having friends these days...(don't you EVEN say it)... You'd like to call someone else alone. To let her keep a reason for her phone. THIS just wrapped me up today Mikey boy...you sing the sad song soooo good!!!  Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

People are so sad, huh? *sigh* At least I'm too feisty on my principles to ever take to th' bottle, huh? "Es ist Folter, aber ich bin fast dort." Robert Smith's Torture in Deutsch. |
