1981

Maybe it's my soul
that's cold and shivers
Maybe its my heart that
quakes and quivers
Maybe its a quagmire of thoughts
that run thru my mind and trigger
Destitute like a whore
that temptation could no longer resist

Maybe it's the way that you smile
That bring up all of these visions
the nazi glaze
of your eyes
tell me of lies
and beatings
Maybe it's the way that
you doubt
The love you never had
Now that's so easy
The truth is now a dare
The shadows that stare
become
hallucinatory in their
dreaming...

and if you wait for me
I'll give you everything
Sadness,
despair and empathy
salvation in
creation
a purposeful
awakening

just like this
big oak tree,
the moon,
the stars
and
the sea
I gave you everything
but what does it
matter
possessed in this
dark slumber
