Between the pages
Of a child's fairy tale...

All of the people in the world
hate to get hurt...

The dull throbbing of my heart
Beating out my love for you...

You leaned in
I pulled away as your fingers took hold of my chin...

Baby, please don't go.
The clock on the wall...

Knees tucked under my chin
Hands grasping my ankles...

Two lovers
Standing against the wall...

They say parents
should'nt have to bury their children...

The kitchen;
Linoleum floors...

O love of mine,
Great leader of Rome...

It can't be good
For what's left of my sanity...

A cedar chest sits
Tucked away in the corner...
