Dark night alone 

Somewhere west of here 

I drank till dawn 

Harsh light shining clear 

Just waiting for an epiphany

so that I can hold on to all that I keep dear

for once I can't answer for myself



Sunrise comes with no antidote 

My frost cracked skin 

Without a coat 

Waiting by the phone for a call that will raise all of our spirits 

But it never comes the receiver lies dormant and silent 

We had our fill, nothing left to say 

We smoked and drank miscommunication away 

I was cleansed to the core 

Collapsed on the floor 

In the house I once called home 

But the house disappeared 

When nobody was near 

Empty space is cold at night. 



Didn't get out of bed 

For god knows how long. 

Pulled my knees against my chest. 

Imagined I was strong.
