Catching the flame tightly
in the palm of my hand...

Covering the lush green grass
with the cotton blanket...

Help me please he has noticed me
why cant he leave me, why cant he see...

There are hidden parts of me
echoing in silence, beneath...

Today was jess's first birthday
i wasn't even with her for it...

Your paw prints live on
inside my heart forever...

So many people continue to ignore
the little blue clouds that float past...

In a familiar place of insecurity,
I can feel you drifting further away...

Beautiful Mother,
please don't cry...

My pen is crying tears of ink,
as once again it scribbles down...

Unsupported,
disbelieved...

Gathered around in the warm sitting room
as you all sip crimson wine from crystal glasses...
