Dairy of a Madman

Is the silence of
this momentary lapse
what I used to see in
you when I was young?
Are we any nearer
to that far place where
me and you became us
now that you can sleep?

Tear my eyes away
from the endless pavement -
another hypnotic moment.
I’ve forgotten what she meant to me.

…i want to see more stars than this…

Is the screaming of
this painful bleeding
what you felt when
I could not stop?
Am I any closer
to that far place where
you and I became one
now that I’m awake?

Tear your eyes away
for one endless moment -
let me bleed in peace.
I’ve forgotten what she meant to me.

there are promises
scattered among half-truths and shadows
there are noises in my head
but everything’s fallen behind
