         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.
