can't take something you don't own
can stay, but can't call this place home
can get down deep, real deep inside
cannot rack a doubting mind

can't open up a trough or trench of faith
even as you reach out & touch her face
caresses only angled tears
have not felt safe for many years

slinking down these guarded halls
cradled here, between insurmountable walls
can't see you beyond this means
once-in-awhile you foster dreams
they fall to slumber with cease of day
these too, have all been swept away

open lips at times not giving mind
cutting straight into the rind
averted eyes, a slanted grin
resounding hollowness within

cannot feel something you don't know
can say, but you've not seen this low

one bid: a life...deceased

a memory, now all in me

a history that's solely mine

every moment now, double-edged for me

I can't stop the perpetual ticking

cannot warm a soul so chilled

cannot revive what has been killed

can't cure this all by simple will
can empty me, but cannot fill

yes you can get down deep inside
you can sleep here
-for tonight.
