Nightmare Song

My clock said one

When he entered through the back door

Easily, quietly

How could I have known

Heavily I slept while

Stealthily he crept from room to room

He left my platinum diamond ring

And never checked to see my color TV

Surely I'd regret my life meant nothing to him

Anything I kept barely managed to amuse him

Oh, endlessly I miss you

Endlessly I forget you

Endlessly I forget

The minutes marched in tall black boots

Time went on and came back again

What grew in place of his heart jumped out of his chest

I would've called out

I think that I didn't

Endlessly I miss you

Endlessly I forget

His hand was full and human

Over my mouth

Rush of lightning pulled me to consciousness

Dear one, I was a friend to life

How could you let me lose it

Endlessly I forget
