No Goodnights

you looked at me with eyes pale with indifference
you looked through me and saw insignificance
calling out your name in the dead of the night
no one hears,
no one hears.

and a distant howl haunts the moonlight

The silent screaming in my head
drowning out the chaos of sheets in my bed
lips quivering
blood rushing

we retire

we turn,
backs to each others
pooning is for couples
we're just a couple of fools

we retire
we retire

rythmic breathing
chest ascending descending
heartbeats rapidly slowing down

eyes with pale indifference
eyes with pale indifference
i don't want you to see

see me cry

yes i cry when you're not around
i cry when you're homeward bound

i cry
i cry

i cry out your name
no one hears
no one hears

no one's here

show me love
show me light
darkness fall
morning's distant
how can i show you when you're not here?

i close my eyes one last time

i retire
i retire

a distant howl haunts the moonlight
no one hears
i cry
as i retire...
