Chaotic Action Man
Bluelighter
when i walked away
i heard the sweetest sound,
glass breaking on ice,
cold and unforgiving,
like the edge of a knife,
when i walked away.
i can not keep you
locked in my heart.
i should have kept the secret,
let it burn inside me,
take the chance it would consume me
and i know it would,
yet i let it slip.
i can not keep you.
i throw it away,
like i always do,
but it keeps coming back.
like the lost street dog,
trained by the shoe,
i throw it away.
no matter how much i drink
i cannot ease the pain.
and the drugs i take
are not strong enough
to obscure your face,
no matter how much i do.
if you know a place
where i can sit at night, to
stare up at the stars
and not feel alone,
i’ll go there tomorrow.
just point the way,
if you know the place.
