The Plague
I've spent many a night
Lying on my back
Waiting for the dawn
To pierce & crack
And the ceiling
Hanging from the sky
And i envy the boy
Who grabbed the toy
And ran away
And found a joy
While i stood in the shadows
Wondering why
Flying towards me
Then he laughs
A woman's face
The terrible taste
Of the morning after kisses
And goodbyes
I could never seem to catch my footsteps
Have desires, they fly away
Every day i have to fight the plague
How can i sleep in hours like this
When anguish tracks me like a fist
My nakedness exposed, i can't stand
Still i...try to remember lips on lips
Hips on hips & ice on fire
In gloom & glow
When did they leave the man
In the mirror of the night i see
A face that staring out at me
Like a fallen star
Burned itself out
Like a deadly scrapes
Across the ground
My voice cried out
In a gravelled sound
No one's there to hear me
But the plague
Straining hard to see
Running after me
I keep pounding pounding on the door
But it's all so vague
When you meet the plague
And i keep coming
I keep coming back for more
