And, so All-Cure-&-Comfort: 
Where's the bed I called you for? 
From the futon on the floor 
to your backroom (twice-refused), 

do you keep somebody silent? 
I saw you as you slipped. 
I came up close & counted through all those fasted 
hours I nearly miss. 
But, when was your runner down and waiting? 

And did you mean what it meant?

(a bitter note while) The shadows bicker 
and all of a sudden we're on the wall 
where some torch has left us.
But, could it mean less @ all?, 
talked up & crying on the wire?; 
trying to muster up a spark? 
Well, it's been off alone again
in the clouds & in the darkness. 
When was your runner down and waiting? 

And did you mean what it meant?

Ground down from the heels-up: 
I've been in this mood before 
(a red flame w/ no blade to blame 
& a fire @ the door).

When was your runner down and waiting?

And did you mean what it meant?
