 Listen to me crying
 never did me crying
 never did me crying
 never did me any
 good days ring
 empty as your words–
 I do not hear them
 sleeping with me
 you are not alone
 in this world, no one
 goes to bed early
 in the morning
 we awake
 and remember our
 lust.
 
 Your name
 is not the
 same name
 I have
 wondered long
 how to spell it on
 a bad day I won't
 remember my friends,
 you are gone,
 you do not hear
 me spell my name,
 do not see
 me hiding
 under these
 rocks I am not
 ill.
 
 I follow you
 home sometimes
 is not the place
 I lived
 as a boy I would
 run away
 from the city
 sometimes there
 is no noise
 in my head
 when I sleep.
 
 
 
 Prefer me
 in this weather
 I find refuge
 only in you
 do not undo
 me till you have
 seen my face shine,
 here as before
 beside you I would
 whispers
 only serve to
 deceive me and
 you will regret
 this weather
brings rocks
 down loose
 me and you will
 forget my
 name.
 
 Do not deceive
 me, love
 can be a rock
 me slowly
 you sing to me
 you are a friend
 when I hold
 you there is no
 noise when I sleep-
 less nights
 are only cause
 for crying
 never brought me home
 never brought me friends
 never made me well
 again I am ill
 and will
 vomit in your
 ears.
