The Plague |
| I’ve spent many a night |
| Lying on my back |
| Waiting for the dawn |
| To pierce and 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 and ice on fire |
| In gloom and 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 |
