Barely There
-Adrienne Shamszad
In the mornings you are a lonely angel
At night you are a starving man
And I swear by the moon I hear you singing
In a language I don't understand
And you know that your eyes can look so prayerful
You really want to mean what you say
And you turn to God demanding answers
But you don't want to give yourself away
...
Shadows of your Rose flicker in and out of focus
Petals tumble to the floor
and you don't even notice
Till you're bare
Barely there
...
So come down from your spacey mountain
the clouds and the fog all clog your ears
You sit up there pretending to be cheerful
But you don't get anywhere...you don't
And I've watched you drink from the fountain
I've seen you dance like a bird
Your step's so light, just like that angel
So in love with the world
...
