i could pacify your resistance
if you would just
open up your mouth
or if every word i spoke
was honey gold

and i could
lay down beside you
without this feeling i am
empty and we are nothing

equated

and every time your eyes flash down
i am wondering if there was something i could've done
to avoid this panick stricken mess
and every time i drive past your house
i am wondering if there was any easy way
to let us down

and we have left everything
out on the counter
to fill the void
of suburban households
with too many children
and not enough...

love is what we blame
when we let our egos run away
from us
and get too deep into lust...
