Scared To Say

One more day passes slowly
And another hour dies
I rest my head in my hands
And wait
Time stops
And I wonder why
I'm

As the sun slowly sets, I face another cold and lonely night

He gets all slicked up, out the door he goes and soon his truck

He was dangerous
Like a loose cannon
Says he's going to get on his feet
but I never saw him standin'

He spills viscous words

Love is the rain.
A light haze settling on tropical skin,
Gently soaking through clothing
Leaving a clammy,
Hot aftermath.

Love

THE GREAT PRETENDER

Tonight I must pretend you don't matter.
Tonight I must momentarily dismiss all these torturous thoughts
