“i feel like running away. far away.”
“alone?”
“you can come. i’ll sleep while you drive. i don’t want to know where i am when i wake up.”

glacial flowing

pleasure dissolved in pain
bleeding in gu sh  es,
splattering the bathroom sink

the plughole

draining guilt away
 
 
(2001)

longing to be a part…

letting the pain slip off the rearview mirror

for a split second there was a line of sight between our retinae

feel that christmas spirit
covering us all
with calm silence

the lonely wind fiddles
with the tree’s decorations
while, in the distance,
snow flakes reflect lost hymns

…makes me wish
i could fly away
up to the cold pole
leaving the blinking joy
and color celebrating behind.
 
 
(1998)

…please

and when the day arrives
i’ll become the sky
and i’ll become the sea

and the sea will come to kiss me
for i am going
home

nothing can stop me now
 
 
nine inch nails

…but the night’s all mine
