1. A Romance

He will always claim
that he loves me more than gold
I'm not so sure
He cried when I gave his ring back
without saving the receipt


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Strangers

Beautiful strangers
pass me on the street, and smile
I don't smile back
Everyone is ugly
Once you get to know them


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Moonlight

Surrounded by stars
the Moon is lonely tonight
waiting for the Sun
They were lovers once, but now
They are two worlds apart


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. A Conversation

"You are beautiful."
"You say it like you mean it."
"Why won't you believe me?
You've always been beautiful."
"You've always been a fool."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Last Words

Out parting words
endlessly repeat in my head
without meaning
As though I'm overhearing
the conversation of strangers


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Brutal

In so many words
This is the short history
of a long night
You came, you saw, you conquered
and left me wondering, et tu?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Willows

Wind in the willows
fragile green branches breaking
writhing in the night
Oh God, I'm weary of wind
The silence won't let me rest


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


8. Blossoms

Cherry blossoms
I meant to pick a handful
before the frost
I only find the right words
when you're too far away to hear


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Footprints

It snowed last night
everything covered in snow
except our footprints
Beauty can only hide
what wasn't deep to begin with


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Boreas

Icy morning wind
Cold fingers tangle my hair--
a winter embrace
I keep remembering you
and it just makes me colder


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Tears

Some wounds are so deep
no one can ever see them
but you still feel them
Look up, smile through the pain
let us think they're happy tears


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Lilies

Floating white lilies
petaled stars in a deep sky
untroubled by waves
They think they'll live forever
and we know nothing of frost


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
