Apparent Magnitude
The night you finally left
The stars blinked off and on
Then all the windows closed at once
In our house upon the hill
... *** … . ……. .** *** ..
Now, when I think
I hear you knocking
I know it’s just the heat
of my blue blood pounding pounding
pounding in my head
... *** … . ……. .** *** ..
Now, when I think
I feel you here it scares me
And the stars,
They’re back to haunt me
Vicious light I can’t escape
I see them when I close my eyes
... *** … . ……. .** *** ..
And the windows
God, the windows
The windows won’t betray me
They won’t open
They won’t budge
