Sliding Doors

Long hair dragging
over your shoulder

Escaping my eyes
over and over

Reshaping my lies
over and over

Proclaiming my rights
over and over

And the moment of silence
In the cold air of
The moving train
Behind sliding doors

And the moment of pure
Warming drafts like sun rays
Question everything that's gone
With a sliver in what I say

and the glass walls
are nothing
it's myself
to bring
the courage
to talk
and talk
and talk

I fumble my words
I numb the sparks
Then sweep the crisis
Under the rug

Until all that's between
Are the sliding doors
And all that has been
Just preys for more
