on the ground

on the ground

august.12.2003


a wisper I can't hear
a flash I could not see
a slap too fast to feel
is all that's left for me

getting through without
you've fallen out of touch
hoping for the end
it all just hurts too much

nothing more to dream
but what died long ago
the past is stuck on lock
a future I can't know

this face inside my skin
the sun betrays my eyes
i run within your voice
and haunted by your lies
