The silence broke
Like a pane of glass
Looking out on your world
Your life fell past
Her voice
Her words
In their critical mass
Brought you near to the ground
Brought you peace at last
You listened once [I know you listened once]
To her stairwell-heart [every step down]
To the murmur of lies [lying next to you]
She would soon impart
With a touch
With a start
In a violent way
She brought you near to the ground
She brought you down to stay
She will dine on the back of your world and sigh
As the glass of your life tumbles dry
To the ground you abhor
To the ground you embrace
To the memory of life you have forged in her place
