you knew me in the wintertime
cranberry-coated romance
icy gutter girl incarnate
defrosted by your warm intention

you hurt me in the springtime
Spanish citrus stained pillowcase
turning my water into French wines
pollen dusts these silent spells

you came back in the summertime
unexpected ultraviolet disruptions 
as some circadian rhythm resumes
sunburnt burns keep burning
 
where will you be in autumn?
as leaves fall over golden steel
we are seasoned now
perhaps nature will run its course
 

I make love to hypotheticals
until they scream into being
as I set on blind voyage,
going toward or running from?
well I don't know where I'm headed
because I've never really been.

When your body is a prison cell
your bones are rusted bars
your eyes a wimpy window
that illuminate your scars

Tally marks etched in skin
it's one, it's two, it's ten, now twenty?
losing track, your track record,
hysteria's aplenty

Control's a luxury run dry
your life a sentence being served
doing time 'til time is up
now just is just a word.
