Letters pile up no more
Diabetic Halloween
We sit and softly weep outside the door
And I am spite inside you wake
Smiles shine in presence known
Wanting to pass the time
For time's sake


And I can't stand when you don't understand
The one thing I can't get is you
With what I need, I know what I want
The one thing I can't get


A telephone that rings no more
Silence so much louder than sound
We wander a gauntlet not knowing what it's for
Now we are watching the clouds
In the skies the pictures change
I speak the words with never knowing how


I am failure if you speak
if you wake
if you take away my smile
in your hands
to understand
if you leave my life worthwhile
