she is an island
she is fiery
and he is a high land
he is tough like ivory
. . .
and there is
something
about you —
is there
nothing
about you?
. . .
and our love
is fire
not a dove
but it flies higher
{out of reach}
. . .
tonight he crashes
and he burns
and tonight she flashes
and she turns
{in and away}
. . .
tonight is the night
you fell in love
tonight is the night
you question that love
. . .
that's the loneliness speaking
. . .
and there is nobody that loves you
there is nobody that cares
there is nobody that shoves you
you are just there
{why are you here?}
. . .
is it love?
or loneliness?
or need?
{all of these
and none of these}
. . .
face
your
fears
and place
your
ears
somewhere
you can
hear
{open your eyes and your ears, just listen}
