a plastic nightsong

where do you go 

when you try so hard to run 

from yourself 

from the troubles 

and losses 

tired promises 

lies and slander 

love to hate to concentrate 

hate to want the danger 

from one or two 

plus me 

minus you 

when liable leads to hurtful truths 

ecstasy is nothing 

but finding something new 

twice in the limelight 

four steps to sunlight 

behind the dark night 

in clouded view 

longing for the bitterness 

the view that stays askew... 

now i watch 

then i act 

now i'm gone 

not coming around 

and i will face 

the pale night break 

sink to swim 

love to drown....
