You lay there, in our bed, asleep,
just breathing the way you do...

The skies are gray. I can't see
where a cloud begins, or ends...

I've looked into the mirror,
and seen the world beyond...

The sun is setting now.
A shadow begins it's creep...

The rain is coming down.
Down, down, down on my eyes...

How do I tell you
in just a few words...

Colors and shadows,
all within my sight...

I am bound. My desire is my cage. Gilded,
it is not, but the mask I wear is pure...

I have risen above myself.
The places within are behind me...

I wonder what has happened to me.
The one I love is so unhappy being with me...

I hear you from across the room. Your breathing.
The slow, soft hiss. In, and out. In, and out...

Sometimes, I wonder about the
things I think about...
