Come Back To Me

gifts and flowers lay upon

the lid of pink silk above

your face tears make a river

of diamonds in the dark our

daddy breaks down at the

funeral home flies

and relations make an annoying sound

we sit or wander 'round the room ribbons

are folded on the rose bouquets i hear

a voice that sounds so much like yours please,

please come back to me

i cry and talk to you through the bathroom

wall oh please, come back tp me

playing in cleveland on a wednesday

night recovering from the night before

i'm broken and crying in the ladies room

the opening band is banging out their song

i built a shrine on the kitchen wall

with flowers and florida souveniers

you were walking through the house last night

i knew it was you from the space in your steps
