A Night

I just don't know
where to go
All the lines recede
inside of me

the pictures crack
I want them back
But to see again
is a pipe dream

you're falling
so softly now
you're falling away
you're falling ever with me now
together, apart, everyday

See the makeup smear my face
see the lines drawing a trace
the contours are what matter
the inside's just a bore

I feel, but then I linger
I faint, and then I fall
And through it all
I see you stand apart

Take this crazy heart
rip it and tear it asunder
you'll stop only to thunder
what was never to be

I cried a zillion times
when the phone broke out it's line
the sounds, it's pieces reflected
a lost and lonely life

that night, in the darkness,
'twas love and hate combined
And in me lay the pieces
What to do, not enough time

thanks a lot for choosing me
to suffer this heavy load
but that kiss you gave to me
let me somehow know
that it wasn't because of me
but for eternity
