this tired song will not fade.

i have become lost in the plains of your eyes
my heart trapped by your words once more.
so i drive off in my car, to escape the
silent
telephone.

i am wandering the busy streets
i am wandering the night,
at full speed and full blast.
i must drown out your screaming absence
i must run from these screaming tears

inside your heat find my lingering
inside your hands find my longing

there is no muting my thoughtful thoughtless hours
the other voices fade as
i am overcome and i am waiting,
very quietly
very slowly and very
heavily.

i am wounded by your too kind words.
you do not know your power
be careful,
as i am on my knees.
as i am emptied on your skin.

you hold me so closely

you hold me so very near

easily
unwittingly
obliviously
tirelessly.
