BECAUSE SHE INSISTED THAT THE NUMBERS AND DATES SHOULD MATCH

MARKS ON HER HAND LEFT BY THE CHEMICALS SHE USED

AND THEN SHE ENTERED A ROOM FULL OF GOLD AND MIRRORS

IN HER SOUL

STILLNESS AND DISAPPEARING SECONDS

HATED THE TREMBLING OF HER VOICE AND THE TEARS BLURRING HER VISION

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS FROM GATES 1 THROUGH 5

SHADOWS EMERGING FROM UNDER HER FEET IN ALL FOUR DIRECTIONS

HOME AGAIN AMONGST THE CLOUDS

IRRESPONSIBLE AS SATURDAY NIGHTS CAN BE

SNOW WILL THEN FILL HER LUNGS

HARMONY WITHOUT COMPROMISES

IRRITATED BY THE NOISE AND THE LIGHTS, SHE GOES UP TO THE PIANO BAR

SHE BURIED HER FACE IN THE DUVET

HONEY, SHE SAID AND BLUSHED

IT WAS THE LAST TIME SHE SAT BY A CAMPFIRE

SEAS OF SORROW SHE NEVER SAILED

HER SOBS WERE COMPLETELY SILENT

INTRIGUED, EVEN?

SECOND CHANCES DO EXIST

HOPING SHE WILL STILL ARRIVE ON TIME

INTO HER HEART, OUT OF HER ARMS
