The Despondency Of Men

He wants to mean something to me 
But he was just a dream that never got to be
And now he self flagellates
That he never took the girl on dates
And he makes do with what he has
But most of the time he just feels bad
That he settled for
Someone he could never adore
Only ever be useful to
And she’d skull the devil to get to you
Because you’ve got that verdant green
And arches her back the way it had never been
Before
And the shore
May be a more sunny shade of grey
But you and I were never that way
So I take the bull by the horns
But something warns
Me to just let it go
He’s not what you think, you know
And he rained bloody blue hell
On the summer of wishing me well
And I don’t know if he can tell
But when I fell
I fell hard
And let the bard
Inside of me run loose
But she has run out of juice
And gets by on mere gasoline
I wonder does she ever scream
When you make her high
I wonder does she feel you
When you wanna die
Like I do
I’m miles away and the needle pulls through
On another thread
I don’t want to be witness to someone else’s bed
But I feel it all
And I forestall
The grief
For mere belief
In who I am to be
You won’t make a whore out of me

It’s Not My Fault

I watch it fly into the sky
And, you know, everyone cry
But not everyone wakes while they live
It happens when you forgive
That girl who took a lightning strike
And aimed it at me but, like,
I turn it into some kind of illumination
And now every tv station
Plays my tune
Like I’m the only one in the room
And I meet someone I would like
To meet in the dead in the night
Sneaking out into the grass
I didn’t think our love would last
But it’s been fifteen years
And we’ve weathered rain clouds emptied of tears
As they fall on us
And I trust
Him to do just what he craves
But he’s the Superman who saves
Me from the boring grey
He is like a sun ray
That sets all the colours a throb
And I give him what he wants to rob
From me
And dignity
Won’t keep this secret quiet
It’s always been a riot
In that avenue
And his blue
Offsets my red
Til we’re white light in bed
Making one with the serene
This is beyond the dream
And they say twin flames reside
In the place where duality hides
Its face from something so pure
He’s what I bank on and I know for sure
That we’ll always be eternal prose
And he might be the one who chose
Me, but on my side
I’m just glad he’s alive
In this incarnation
And my education
Taught me to always say no
But with him I’m like, let’s go
And get on with the show
You claim to make
But I’ll be no oven to bake
Some buns for the eating
I gotta be the one you’re keeping
For forever in a sigh
Our love will never die

The Songstress

I saw the shadow of my soul in the indent of his eyes
I took it on the chin and it took me by surprise
Like the sun and the moon forever apart
Until that time of day when they both take heart
And you’re not a perfect person, I could list your flaws
And there is an ice inside that never thaws
But I saw you in the ash though you hid in the smoke
And you handed me a fiver when I was going broke
But I am no beggar, at least not anymore
And I am tired of knocking at the same damn door
When I know the truth is this, you’re not who I sought
Although you just might be the best lie I ever bought
