There’s something unraveling in this girl today
some deeper pattern,
pattern, that’s starting to fray.
Too many secrets coming out in the night
too many feelings
that can’t stand the light.
I can see it in her eyes this time
somethings crossed over the line.
I don’t know what’s happening
her eyes have turned in.
There’s tension around her
and her smiles are thin.
Something is happening to this girl I see
the future is written
and its not coming free.
She holds my hand
and takes me down to this place.
Where she asks me questions
that are rapier traced.
She wants that our truth and love
become one
but in the morning’s light
it’s our peace, lies undressed.

I get so disappointed
with the women in my life.
So soft and warm at first
until they find the knife.
They seem to want to love you
and hold you to their heart
while ever deeper into them
their loving waters part.
But, at some point,
it always seems
their loving trust
yields clutching screams.
