Brief Interlude
Posted by lordpinoy on January 7, 2006
She shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying treeI let her hear my footstepsShe only goes stiff for a momentCare for a smoke?Sure. I'll take oneAre you as bored by that crowd as I am?I didn't come here for the partyI came here for youI've watched you for daysYou're everything a man could ever wantIt's just not your faceYour... figureOr your voiceIt's your eyesAll the things I see in your eyesWhat is it you see in my eyes?I see a crazy calmYou're sick of runningYou're ready to face what you have to faceBut you don't want to face it aloneNoI don't want to face it aloneThe wind rises electricShe's soft and warm and almost weightlessHer perfume is sweet promise that brings tears to my eyesI tell her that everything will be alrightThat I'll save her from whatever she's scared of and take her far far awayI tell her... I love herThe silencer makes a whisper of the gunshotI hold her close until she's goneI'll never know what she's running from
I'll cash her check in the morning
