are you out there?

how can a picture of someone they want more than me be so painful?

compare and contrast darlings, but they always come out looking better.

hard to say

suddenly it has begun

it hurts to do it more

than have it done

catch you with a hook

then they turn

and kill you with a look

be gone without a trace

in the silent

nights we wait and pace

hearts all half awake

throughout

eery unfamiliar ache

what? again tell us love?

what they

did is undreamed of

it will all end, all trust

never again

love, you unjust

knife thrust...

white and mint and hurt me all over

it seems like a lie till they all show their hand.

with my creative all tied up in things i have to do

burn like a kiss when they burn just to brand.

it makes like a artist that has nothing else new

we all hide in the shadows so we don't have to stand.

i fake all my intrigue so they don't wonder why

they catch my uninterest so they know where to land.

still alone in the shadows, I don't say goodbye
