and my pain
that i drown in
every night
and i saved you
when your side was bleeding
and i drew the knife
from your pierced flesh
and i wish that i had
been there for you
but of couse you didn’t see me
the room was dark
and so i stood there still
waiting for the lights to change
and i hoped that soon everything would disappear
and i’m standing in a tangent
waiting for the points to meet
but i can’t stand here any longer
my sorry, aching feet
are terribly disfigured
in the light i can’t ignore
when the sewers flooded over
and the mirrors hit the floor
and suddenly all noises faded
into darkness in the night
and your breathing grew much louder
and your hair blew out of sight
and i stood inside the mirror
with your darkness staring back
and i broke out of the window
while the nature prodded back into
your
life and i’m forsaken
with control over the land
and i cannot help but take it
for granted on the stand
