Tattered drapes Of silky skin Blankets of rough wool Once soft and warm Have become old, cold and lonely Lost in the dust Collected in the corner Each exhale Dispels dust That floats through the stale air Single particles Visible only when illuminated By the slits of light Breaking through The holes in the lowly curtains That cover those windows I tear them down Let the sun rush in and take over Put an end to the war Between dark and light Put an end to this war In my heart I surrender Sink to my knees Enveloped in the sun's rays They wrap their arms around me As if holding me in comfort To say: "It's alright Somehow, someway Someday, maybe

The stars offer guidance Soft silver lights Coupled with silence The joy the day brought I will miss The sun's warm bath Your consoling kiss But as I wander Led by the glow of the moon This gray darkness Brings back that tune That song I once knew But now has faded My skin, though raw My heart though jaded My mind though lost I know I'll soon be whole When you return Your touch will burn this cold

Heavy notes Weighted down with tears Like clouds Ready to burst And expel their water Rain down And soak my skin Wash away the blood That drifts through empty houses Dark tunes That cut out the lights And drag night across the sky Cover the world below In stars Set against a black wall Of endless depth Defy gravity And fall into the atmosphere above Passionate words Tell stories Disturbed tales Of times When even the cover of the forest Complete with shadows of hanging vines Offered no protection Only dim lit reflections And cold empty arms Play me a sad song On your piano keys With your gentle hands That float across my skin Then disappea
