it's just your face.
Thats what he said when i was crying.
And then i lied about what had happened
He missed a step and tripped
when he was on the floor we tried to speak, but i could not hear a sound.
the glowing stars on the sealing made a wink and i fell asleep before i could hear him leave.
The minutes that remained from the night,
the frightening voices,
the scarred trees,
the wet floor, and the blessed cigarettes.
fire kept me warm as i tried in vain to embrace myself to the sleeping twilight,
with a hurting bed trying to fade away.
