the end of a day comes so suddenly
although we know it's on its way
it's never welcome to stay...


what words
will you say
when given a chance
to say...

the raindrops of syllables
that trickle so delicately
from inside your mouth to the
top of the sky
they die
they die
and there's no birds
that can misinterpret them first
or memory that can satisfy the thirst
for a touch
for a look in an eye
that says i am here tonight
so let's just say goodbye.

i want to be so close to you,
i try to tear the skin off your bones to get inside
and the desperation flutters
from the tips of my fingers into my eyes
and the conversation between yours and mine
buys me a little time
as i struggle so desperately
to make you mine

droplets of rain
wash away the pain
that rests on my face
that burdens my heart
in this desperate place
wash away the trace
of all the trust
i could never replace
help me disappear
into the night
i frantically feared
to embrace
