tell me when it's over

when does love end
do the credits roll
heavens open up
rain beating you down telling you so

how do you know
when to leave
is there a book to explain each situation
an appropriate test for when to bail out

feelings are too confusing
I want a method
a simple tool to measure
it with

data informs
and decisions are made
but when and where
are not yet laid



can't see me


can you see the invisible man 
wandering down back alleys
sinking into deep cracks in the wall
when others stagger by
how can you see such a creature
wandering the dank shadows of dark

All Bad

Feelings deserted
left stranded on familiar turf
sit cross legged stare into the sun

I left my heart on that road
you took off for other parts
we didn't stay together this time

when does it find us again
my eyes hurt from the sun
out of gas on the highway

I cant find my way home
this road is too familiar
my eyes have burned out

heart look for something
mind on fire now
should a soul be stranded

mixed messages
fixed plans
my hands can't feel
the blindness of it all.
