I have the
diamonds sitting in
my lap and I
still will not stop looking for
the coal / when I sleep it
is his skin seeping
into the abyss/ when
you leave it is you in
my head but not on my
fingertips that slip
down down down / the open
door has you glancing and
I can feel myself
writing us out of
your story / there is
something out there I
am not ready to face
without fighting a lose-
lose situation / but this
one is not a question
of uncompromise it is
just me / me standing
hopes-deep in the
sand losing everything so
can you tell / can you
tell me which hinges
to push and pull so
I can have you
back again
