                                  <  a requiem for you and me >

                                found out today    
                                that you've been freed to love me
                                in the fine caress of dreams
                                the silence of your words
                                that follow me from room to room
                                i'm stopped
                                caught up
                                i'm still and frozen
                                in a messy soup of you
 
                                like any worshiper  
                                i wished to hold your sway
                                like any lover though
                                i had no right

                                my fantasies
                                so busy eating at your table
                                sex
                                that movie in my head
                                i kept it quiet
                                i kept my own despair  
                                you were the news
                                i wasn't
                                and they never got enough
                                your suffering
                                your tragic fantasies

                                i see you stepping from the stage
                                described in brilliant light
                                still lost in song
                                still questioning



                                and there you were
                                so early in this stiff, tight morning
                                there you were
                                your drugs
                                laid out across the table
                                and i watched
                                watched as you took them up
                                your sacrament
                                your poison
                                your relief

                                i wait

                                i wait and kiss this moment
                                kiss this moment as i cry and think of you
                                i helped to chose those drugs for you
                                just as you choose your words for me

                                you

                                stepping from the stage
                                in brilliant light
