omerta

and soon it was known she deserved the same thing she got

i thought i could show some support but found i could not

the light i thought she’d misread   filled my own brittle head

with the grace of one joseph spence

lacking so much more than sense

the tension   high

for more information suspending due process of guilt

no reaction felt amongst us we were both too well built

i made mention of fact  she with her clothing intact

i didn’t think she could see until she said the faith was in me

if i promised to die

took so long to forgive even the simplest of things

swore she didn’t like jewelry but still she wore rings

i was seven feet tall     she didn’t notice at all

i made too much to think

but she just had too much to drink

too much to drink and beautiful eyes

time can change so much to find no change at all

habits were too hard to break and it seemed like a wall

where nothing had been    you know we used to be friends

i couldn’t move so to speak     her lies  were so fucking weak

there was no surprise

theft wasn’t spoken but i knew that it was everywhere

i liked the people she’d chosen even when they were there

i felt so much like me     a good place to be

she smiled and made me relax

so i made her part of my past

like nick drake’s northern sky

infinity repeated itself for the finest of them

she was so very precious before she had men

her decision was sure   my heart was still pure

                                                     listen now so to fail

                                     it still seemed like a jail

                                                                               and it just made her cry
