Mia

A flower at your side, just some little token, than one day be a bride, ribbons flutter in your hair, laugh at stuff unspoken, you'll always be just there, drunk enough to ask why, accept you've been chosen, to always touch the sky, die at all the hurt, childhood dreams have awoken, outside of anyone's care, beseech heaven's insight, neither shrunk unknowing, beyond asking why, say a little prayer, forget about uncloaking, no husband wants to share, sing your favourite lullaby, verify love has spoken, a cloud sails the sky, you remain unbroken.

Lacey

Dance a poor girl's Blues, sing softly on the wire, you always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, given time expires, let them go alone, each little bit of you, parts they desire, haven't got a clue, life's not a cherry stone, you spit in the fire, why should you follow, their choice of ruin, sings louder than a choir, laugh at such tunes, know in your bones, they'll try to act wiser, keep close to home, whoever brings bad news, screams who's for hire, seek your own truth, no one calls you liar.

Keira

Take your time, shoulder what's to come, drink a glass of wine, get through this trouble, he thinks he's so tough, will no longer corrupt, forget his broken life, singing in your blood, that's for another time, all that you loathe, you now discover, is acting out what's told, Oh he's entwined, silent in his cups, stories of his wife, no more betrayals, phrases that he's dubbed, you laugh at his failure, hear the clock chime, he's so misunderstood, remember well that line, hand him back his love.

Judy

Take me to the train, it's my turn to speak, listen to that rain, you'll see a sunlit avenue, not a roof that leaks, free from all bad news, thats whewre I want to play, far from this house of geeks, Paris, Marseilles, we'll be there soon, from this bed that creaks, astray from hostal rooms, somewhere sunny opaque, without crazy freaks, midnight come out to play, you'll see me bloom, with inner feelings, if you sing these tunes, just spin me away, love turns at ninety degrees, then you'll hear me say, I'll drink the sea.

Ivy

Are you so unaware, think your c'mon on's great, I don't even care, am not looking for a home, a veil across my face, you're too far gone, there's no need to share, a spin on your Saturday, I'm not even there, I'll have fun alone, when your image fades, practice dancing on my own, wonder about combed over hair, like a great traipse, so little time to spare, a hymn to what once shone, when the shutter's raise, something's now cold, what makes you dare, to pull my traces again, can't you understand, everything's too late?

Who can dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too drunk even to speak, why raise the stakes, he mighn't come at all, useless dates we make, I wait for the seasons, with my crown of thorns, have given up on reason, he could arrive with grace, laugh instead of careworn, should I act brave, he studies me with ease, like i've been caught, pissing in the sea, lends a hand that shakes, absence in his call, understands why I hesitate, this is not really me, jellied to my core, a flower of deep uncertainty, scared of being torn.

Gabi

Da's agin in the pen, our pillows are not soaked, you stand there bereft, if you think he's class, consider him gone, he'll never eat grass, always first to the Den, laughs at us dopes, thinks he's the only one, he won't be assed, leaving you alone, will just shoot more gas, can't sit and pretend, we want him back home, there's nothing he's left, on a chair bound fast, holding a lover's phone, don't care what happens, you say we can help, pray that we'll cope, Ma you're a mess, we splice our own rope.
