Sienna

A flower at my side, just some little token, held with great pride, ribbons in my hair, stuff that's unspoken, never so aware, too silly to ask why, that stupid photograph, shows how you cry, forget all the hurt, memories invoke, beyond all your care, suggest heaven's sight, is there for the coaxing, nothing passes by, all that we share, lies close to our clothing, who says life is fair, sing our favourite lines, know that love's spoken, don’t try to hide, what remains unbroken.

Ruby

Dance in shiny shoes, sing songs of desire always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, why wait for reminders, you know how it goes, each little bit of you, faces cruel ire, just tell the truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one's just alone, your point of view, is found in the choir, find another crew, show in your tones, when others conspire, you'll send them home, if they bring feuds, beg for more hire, say their confused, you're not a liar.

Querida

If that’s my crime, pass the sentence to come, drink some sweet wine, won’t get bitter, in what gasses for love, I can’t alter this, forget broken lines, that sing in my blood, someone's other life, you tried to make slip, all there's to discover, lost in your grip, entwined, my silence is the rub, take note of the time, no more tricks, on a face that I scrub, laugh at such a fix, hear the bells chime, won't be misunderstood, now that I’m flying, don't need your touch.

Phoebe

Please don't groan, stifle your screams, I ’m not leaving home, a knife to my throat, you know where I’ve been, love keeps me going, I don’t need a boat, search on the sea, looking for don't knows, or dance with my ghosts, who jump like jelly beans, toasting the lost, when you live alone, you’ll know what I mean, what hurts the most, in my red greatcoat, you once used to lease, bounty of my lone soul, am not here to atone, for our busted dreams, just to say I welcome, all what is seen.

Ophelia

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, my mouth is like a drain, forget these sunlit avenues, it's my roof that leaks, buckets of torrid news, Paris or Marseilles, everywhere they treat, turns truth into fake, pray I won't see you soon, before my hair is grey, forget your Provence rooms, mark you well this day, when my crazy inner deeds, all come out to play, bourganville blooms, by a station at Nice, it doesn't carry fortune, what is there to say, love burns at ninety degrees, my prayers are forsaken, can you hear the sea?

Natalie

I’m fully aware, if you're so great, who am I to dare, trying to make a home, dreams across my face, why do I feel alone, a hard hand to bear, the shaking out of fate, all I've lost spare, heaven screams atone, other voices fade, am I that far gone, chained to your affairs, plan a great escape, rescued by a timeshare, my yogi tells me flow, when eyes start to blaze, it's the time to go, what if I don't care, drawn on my traces, you're so up in the air, my time to waste ?

Maya

Prognosis only half true, you smell the Limes, Spring on the avenue, joke about a scarecrow, the belt that tightens, hard on your bones, hope there's no proof, show if they’re right, go gently with truth, I won't be alone, in this evening light, to break out the stones, I'll sit near the flue, not like it's a crime, fire seeping through you, have to keep going, each starry night, when the kid's phone, say you’ll be fine, drink vodka with juice, stick with the line, how you're doing?
