curious winds out the back alley again
quiet the gusts, shhhhh! as they slither and slink,
and I can't get the image out of my head even if I tried
God knows I want to believe you,
you are everything I have always craved and imagined
or at least told myself I did...

those words jab behind at my eye lids and won't let me forget
and just when I was getting comfortable in this skin
just when I was starting to believe again,
the letters fell out
screaming
laughing
condemning,
fool!

knocked down, drag out my imploding heart for the last time
this method of madness is wearing way too thin,
dammit!
I chose to listen, turn around and what?
they're all there, again
back where they were, nothing's changed...

leaving me where, exactly?
I wanted,
but want is all that remains
I thought by now there'd be more to say ...
