GHOST HEART

Quiet lies
you were afraid to reveal
you were so disappointed
that I couldn't see
and the ghost heart
that floated between us
drowing in a sea of disbelief
Puter angel,
why are you telling me this now?
Our time is gone
like a fist full of sand
plunged into an ocean
little shards of it
drift away
with knotted stomaches
and watery eyes
all those quiet lies
Puter angel,
Fish in the Sky
you see,
this battle damaged man has grown
this paralyzed bird has flown
I've shaken off the last
ghost in my chamber
And I didn't really want to know
