How many darkenings have you known?

To wait a while, is that what you bought with that tone?

Keep quiet, but I came home one night and thought you were there.

I didn’t know anybody else with that stare, let alone lived there....

I’ve fallen for it, the money.

Pick me up, honey.

I’m telling you more than I know,

This is is all I’ve got for show.

There’s not way out,

I hit, scream and shout.

Rescue me,

It was only a bad knee....

If wishes fell like rain, then certainly I am a storm.

I’ve come to build wells without buckets of pain. In so many tears, is the way it will remain. Water me, for a shower covets my name....

“Humor me”, God said. And left him there. That’s the way it felt....
