for keeps

i've stood aboard your crystal ship

you've soaked me up like spilled wine

you carry me in your pocket



i've seen your poppy eyes

tasted the silent words under your dancing tongue

you cannot hide


its a chemical burn

the heart dreams on its own

you may think....your at the wheel


but baby the fates they weave

a wish, a regret, a tear to bind

time is hard to measure in flashes


i only know the weight of this stone

i'm holding you

for keeps
