In My Room

I opened the door, took a peak, guess what I saw?

A lady admiring the view

I saw the light tucked up in creases and shadows

A rocking horse looking at you

In my room, there are flowers

In my room, there are pictures

In my room there’s a heartache

I’ll play in the garden instead

Inquiring eyes, sad and wise beyond her years

With laughter that fills the whole room

I saw your pale sparkling frame Smoking in the rain?

Behind The fat eye of the moon

In my room there are mirrors

In my room, there are memories

In my room there are monsters

I’ll play in the garden instead

Silent monsters at my door

Climbing mountains, I must go play in the garden instead

In my room, there are flowers

In my room, there are pictures

In my room there’s a heartache

I’ll play in the garden instead

In my room……

Mother, mother?

Mind the flowers.

Taking pills by the hour

Longing eyes

Hidden memories

Sing to me

As you cry out…

“Hold me Help me I’m falling” Falling.

I’ll play in the garden instead

For now I’ll tuck you in bed

I’ll see you soon,

Don’t be scared.
