the interruption
I am the sharpened sword The cast stoned The words that linger too long in the air The rumbling silence over the length of a room The lie that lay between two lovers The hopelessness in their struggling The price to high to pay A dark and obscured voyeur Combing through your secret The stranger to the child Loneliness in solitude Sand in the drinkers mouth Shadows over sunlight And all the time you are with me Uncertainly Certainly of falling Scars of souls Scars of skin Stars too far away to see Wave on wave over the swimmers head And all the time you are with me
