Song 10 of the 52 Week Club

lyrics

Make me know silence
like the sound of snow
falling dizzy through the air.
Make me know beauty
as the flakes catch and melt
in the locks of your long hair.

I caught you looking through
my bookshelves filled with copies
of old magazines
and hardback editions of
Catch-22, Typee, and Men Without Women

How I know
not to read
between the lines.
As if the words
on the pages
weren't enough
to lose my mind.

Let this house be haunted
to the brim with all of your
worrisome ghosts.
Let me recognize the
power of love, so I can be
their heavenly host.

Still, the scariest sound
that I know is your footsteps
as they walk through
the hallway in the dark.
And, I watch your black
silhouette lay next to me
in the bed whispering,
"Love is an art..."

How I know
not to read
between the lines.
As if the words on
the pages
weren't enough
to read my mind.
