When I see you smile
I know I can brave
the weather that's
always in front of me
Like a cloud..a poet's
dream..clandestine..
etherial..smokey
waters lie upon the
horizon..and the love
you seek..lies gently
at your feet..and so
it may be..that what
your looking for..
is right in front
of you..so..
My life might still
be some kinda living
hell..but,isn't it nice
to pretend..that all
is well..when I can
make you all laugh..
it makes me forget
all of my pain..
and I know I'm doing
my job so well..
redundant..hashing it
out on the street..
Listening to The
New York Dolls..
Chewing bubblegum..
fingers snappin'
and wishing I
wasn't so weak..
Lonelyness has been
my companion for so
many years my friend..
Misery has always
loved my company..
and I'm the Chairman
of the Bored..
So don't be so sad
Mandy..I know what's
real..that's why
you'll always
find me..
I'm just a heart ache
away..a tear drop..
on your pillow..
and a sigh..
from yesterday..
