Lizard Love
amid starlight she reposes
my life's in her lizard face
that library of dusty looks
records my fall from grace
she took the best from me
sucking me dry every day
each wrinkle taunting me
dry pointers to my decay
I pray she does not wake
no pity runs in my veins
but violation at the sight
of what sleep she feigns
she's a monument to loss

The Loss Of Those Who Haven't Died
They say hope is such a wonderful thing
Keeps us strong against anything
But be careful what you hope for
Or it will do you in.

Of mine now see?
Perhaps without love
Perhaps then I could
Get over how much

Singing and dancing with her twin,
No one else can.
Each time I watch one,
I see her too.
When one walks into the room,
I see her come in too.
No one else can.
I know why I see her.
I know why I hear her.
What I don't know...
