Creeping Light
by VB

it's been so long that i've crawled down every ones spines
it's so hard to see the white light
but i've seen it plenty of times
most of the time i hide and despise
looking the other way for another clue
to life that is crawling down my own spine
constantly, they creep up on me like night does on day
light turns to water on my face
drink me
i'm as pure as alhambra, i wish i could say
i need tenderness and nothing else
i dreamt of a boy i once knew
and faces only slip away
who is there to blame???
am i really this numb from all of the pain???
can you see my own face slip away...
i loved you until my mind slipped away and i lost my sanity
until you destroyed my intelligence with a numbing pain
the light is bright....i smile and you just laugh...pretending it was
yesterday
