Don't Try To Wipe The Mirror Clean

Your safe now Theres no need to hang upside down I know the pain you speak about, I know your grin and your pout. I know that pain is all the same, when your alone and when its in your stomach it feel like stones. You don't haft be strong, you don't haft to sing that song. I know your lines smiles broken at the corners and eyes pretty as dimes I know that faces lie in unhappy times I know your dreams why your willing, to wipe the mirror clean. I know what binds you to the bed, the feeling of knowing what you did. I know the pucker of red lips, traced with black finger tips. I know the stretch of green pastures, the scent of perfumed letters. The sound of hard knocks and unlatched locks, the looks of longing and cries prolonging. I know that pain stings, the touch of sorrowful things. I know what your hands is sending, why their clinching, nothing. What it means, to wipe the mirror clean I know what happens when love is pushed back, your hit up side the head with a base ball bat. I know how small you gotta be, to squeeze through bars I know how hard it is to hide the scars. I know why you give love and take it to A long time I was you I thought I could do anything I kept on trying to wipe the mirror clean (I kept on  trying to wipe the mirror clean) You don't haft to hide your feelings from me Its not easy to wipe the mirror clean Written November 16th, 2001 © on Nov 16 2001 11:02 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
