Ruby lips sail on ships of ivory
with oceans of green boiling cold
Your faceless kiss and close embrace
Choking this heart within me
Impossible to tear me from your ground
You speak to me without a sound--
The trembling little flower
You are longing to devour
Spared in your shade
From the sky's cruel torch
From the early spring sun
You are the only one
A skeleton bare, so cold and fair
And somber as we watch
You'll go on, but this child you see
Is delirous by your poetry
And lost within you, my grey tree
I cannot leave, I cannot leave

"broken glass."
I watch you, I feel you
I have to, want to bleed you
Behind this veil I see you
You will know I need you
I am not beautiful
But I am not scarred
You want me
You watch me
Waiting, breathing
I vaguely see my reflection
In you
But you're a dirty mirror
And we are broken glass
And you cut me when I tread on you
You bleed me when I touch you
Infect me with all your lies
Your beautiful lies and scars
Inside a suicide smile
That I can only have in pictures
Of a forgotten yesterday, today
In coloured slides
Glass
falls to the floor
Broken

"broken glass 2.0"
I am light, though you cannot see by me
You are glass, though I cannot see thru you
But I pass through you, and you sparkle
I am broken, an image that wishes to dance before you
Like a million suns
You are broken-- chards of a mirror
That stare up at me from the floor
At myself
[He can see within me beauty I have hidden
I can bring out the beauty in him that has been
Covered by years that have burned]

"A Single Kiss"
Inside my heart, you're not there
When I think of this
You don't exist,
And for my part, I want to stare
In your deep blue eyes...
Then this feeling dies
You are gone, and I forget you
In this song, I would let you
Take my heart and treat me wrong
No more, no more, no more...
All I want is a single kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
But then you're gone and then I cry
If you're not here, I might just die
A shadow of you is what I love
If I don't scream I'll surely crack
You came to me from up above
You could never love me back
