An unread poem on my knees, you demand to see the child, but what lies in between, you always think you know, a fury in your smile, pain like a broken bone, am I not allowed some ease, do you ignore the signs, believe your perfect belief, even if it's not true, a power beyond my sight, why always claim the virtue, wrap prayers around your rosary, whispered dry at night, throw them back at me, terms you want to accrue, beyond heaven's insight, your lawyers stick like glue, before asking the judiciary, to take the precious mite, where is love in this, would you have me die?

Don't let some doom crew, make it seem, you always sing the Blues, cold weather brings them on, floats them on the breeze, they always find a home, if the wind rocks cruel, they'll blow on your dreams, find ways for you to lose, stay here my lovely one, laugh beside a swollen sea, nothing beats what’s gone, the dark days of feud, make them just history, you’ll beat any curfew, when fields turn brown, remain here alongside me, our love is a marathon, dance the way you do, escaping their screams, keep the chosen few, believe what you believe.

Fear hollows out my night, makes me summon ancient flame, waits for lamps to light, when I'm most shot through, you’ll hear me straight, change is my due, a dream of life outside, special moments to play, drink a little wine, there are no avenues, I won’t walk again, you'll never pass through, laugh in a better clime, no one else to blame, part of me dying, you won't shine my shoes, of all the pieces today, my tide will turn blue, beside an early sunrise, you can't supply what's great, don't look away in fright, I won't come back again

Say it’s time to leave, don't really want to go, if you must believe, now just want away, to live or die alone, dig my own grave, our love is bittersweet, no real need for home, kids house dog big dreams, shifted silence of your company, your dance on moonlit stones, I want to stay pretty, sing along and pray, the only song I own, before you jump the gate, can you hear me scream, locked to an iron stove, like the caves of Thebes, please don't push me, I only weigh eight stone, who are you to grieve, when I go to Rome ?

It's been a while, so there you go, waited on you like a child, when donkeys start to bray, or the cock crows, you always fade away, no need to find, what you never owned, could search for miles, stars might show the way, frozen in your clothes, for all you've gained, say you don't mind, it's just another show, freshens up the time, will you stay a while, wrapped up in the snow, have you got the style, sit by a fire, don’t worry or scold, try to stay kind, why don't you know ?
