Traveling through life
A ghost born of human flesh
Yet red blood runs hot

Noticed by few
He walks through the crowded streets
Completely alone

Sometimes moonlight casts
A knowledge of who we are
Enabling sight

The hawk flys with grace
I stumble along through life
My wings are broken

Snow blanketed limbs
Outstretched in agony
Blackened frostbite

Breath puffs without sound
Crystals in the winter night
tears trace icicles

Drunk on a Monday
Staggering home all alone
Another night gone

Warmth from a window
Unreal from this end of life
Back to the cold road

White blanket covers
A dirty brown and red world
Feigning purity

Cats play through the night
I sit alone by lamplight
My love fast asleep

House creaks with winter
The ache from bitter cold
I won't sleep tonight

I sit in darkness
Encompassing my small room
Hiding from myself

My cat licks my nose
Proving to me once again
Life is wonderful

We do not change
We just tell you otherwise
We will always lie

Thoughts unleashed at night
Making my bed a soft tomb
Insane view from here

Pale light of morning
reaches me through troubled sleep
renewing my faith
