just another memory
another fuzzy picture
with the sound down low
static and lines
brush and flicker
black and white
or was it color?
slow motion
lips move
but no words escape
the background
washes out the sounds
of the words we spoke
the slow dull rumble
of the train
while still the rain pours down.
green eyes, red lips
black coats
white roses
memory . . . or fantasy?
reality in my mind
is it shared?
can i lie
and can i say you never cared?
will you remember too
the words were that i love you
drowned out
re-edit the ending changes
never ending puzzles
of the human condition
flicker, fade out
the sound fades in
but it's too late.
the credits rolling . . .
and time moves
the setting changes
was a scene missing
or was i never there
i cant recall . . .
trying to stay alive
the pills in perfect focus
while the world around dark and fuzzy
i can't remember the pain
but in my mind i play it over
and over again.
