What do you say 
to make it all go away?
Speak
Maybe everything will change 
Because I don't like sitting alone
to watch the rain
But I do appreciate 
that your shiny new chain 
has kept me close enough
to hear you whisper my name

But sometimes it's a shame
Sometimes...you're the one to blame

You lit a cigarette
While sitting in your hospital bed
Rearranging the pictures of the magazine shreds
"She looks much prettier this way",
you said
"Now you can see 
all the thoughts in her head
are showing on her face instead"
Because some things are better off dead
Some blood is better off bled

A pair of shoes stood in the door
The colors faded
The soles all worn
But the soul of the man
could not be torn 
As he strolled through the house 
He left a stain on the floor
And with each step
we saw the places he explored
Some, he adored
and the rest, he brought war

I was awake in the middle of the night
I couldn't think of anything to write
So I stared deep into the moonlight 
Hoping to find a sonnet to recite
Would I find it tonight?

Would I find it tonight?
