Bright Eyes

And I sing and sing of awful things
The pleasure that my sadness brings
As my fingers press onto the strings
In yet another clumsy chord
Haligh, haligh, an awful lie
This weight will now be satisfied
I'm gonna give you only one reply
I know not who I am

But now I'm confused. Is this death really you?
And do these dreams have any meaning?

Something vague that we're not seeing,
Something more like a feeling.

For My Lover, Returning to his Wife (poem)

I don’t want him to see me cry. I need to get home. I need to be alone, to lick my wounds and be still until the world stops spinning and settles on this new reality. Maybe with some time I’ll be okay. For the first time in my life, I can’t see how.

I can do things
No human can do
I can doubt myself and then I'll doubt you
That's nothing new
