You were asking for someone to come change your life
i did just that.
i was asking for someone to get high with
you were, without me having to go rewrite the past.
you wanted someone to like your poetry, your art
my mum says, "you see in people what other people cant."
Sometimes i think i have a window
where i should have a chest, a glass head,
sometime ago i thought everything would be okay if i just looked West
but they foretold me coming,
they sensed it printed on my dress.
I asked for someone else to leave me
in a bigger mess
bruised and reeling,
bruised, undressed.
ill put your kisses on the star behind its core
the constellation on the ceiling
another lover
another love
another other
a white dubh,
nother nothing in the zephyr
a
space where the name
should be,
lithium treatment,
a star for where 'care' was so far, so unknown to be
i have a place in the wilderness with you.
i have heard too much guitar
but there was one song. just one..

thanks barbi x i have had the word dubh spelt wrong which is an error as its important the word dubh is interpreted as the colour black (irish gaelic) it also refers to the blackness of the eye...i had it spelt to mean something else. its tricky getting gaelic right, but there you go x
