ANYTHING IN THIS


What's in this for you?
When you don't know what to do
You will walk away
Then maybe you will see that this is just a game

The twigs and thorns scrape your skin
I've found where the end of nature begins
While you search under every stone
The pebbles you miss hide everything

I walked away
And I made myself cry
Perfumed cries
Into and over the ocean

This mud stains worse than you
Could ever dirty my inside
Glowing embers fade
You scream at yourself as you stare at the page

The broken words you never wrote
Are all that you have left
Each letter falls away from your reach
You believe it less every day

Someone ran away
Left us with nothing to say
Clock remains
I will not let the time just pass

Tear drops blur this aging note
Even the walls play violins
You rinse your head in cold water
Still the hurt you feel remains

Take the memory away
We find that everyone goes away
Pain remains
I won't allow this lost just to fade
Expression plain
You find many ways to hide behind a pain
Is anything there......anything?
