Music: ben harper- fight for your mind
Subject: i haven't WRITTEN in ages
i had nothing once.
the starkness of it all
is hard to grasp now
too profound for words
curses
fulminating, eminating
from every pore-
i'm bleeding for mankind now
i'm suffering for your sins.

but this day is
just like the last is
just like the last.
hours passed
minutes clicked away
like rain on the window
like rain on my eyelids
is it rain now?
rain down my face,
streaming from a green sea
rain on my lips
tastes of all those
tired nights...
those awkward words
those gray clothes
and gray boys
and gray thoughts.
the rain is gray again tonight.

you looked at me.
no, that's not how it started..
i realized you first.
before you had the chance
to incriminate me in your mind
i copied your every feature
on napkins
and matchbooks
dusting them against my thighs
in the warmth of my pockets
which whisper history
incessently
asking me
"where were you?"

i lower my eyes from across the room
you have stopped me.
you are alert.
your senses faded with my gray rain
and i let you in to stay
you shake your umbrella and
say something trivial about the weather
but i have not listened-
i am too busy focusing
on the rain on your face.
i question morality all of a sudden-
i question YOU
-often now-
there isn'e a day that goes by
that i dont' wonder
look
think
glance
chance to meet you
in your purest form
your shrunken dripping self
coming to my house-
a shelter from the gray rain.

but in turn
FINDING the colorless wonder
your link to me-
your conversation starter
your realization of my
one pure weakness.
but where does that leave me?
a hallway full of puddles
your footprint
dry and stained now
and fading ever so slowly
but surely as well.
i stand with the door open now
on nights
when the rain turns to gray
mist on my face
swirling hair
air like the duluth border

where are you now?
the footprints gone now
i'm almost grown now
its almost midnight now
where are you?
you know where to find mme now
when the rain turns to gray
if you come with your comments
and your umbrella-
even your shoes
which may stain for years more to come
i'll have no choice
but to let you in.

whats another day?
i can't bare another storm without you..
