for ruthie
----------------------------------------------------------------------
she sees through his eyes
his lies of i never, have i ever
wanted anything more than an answer
to the unsolvable problems
the unpredictable pain pushing
her to the edge of insanity
losing all sense of sensibility
and alone together we will be
eyes dried shut of tears
hearts closed to the thought of love
that is lost forever in the stars
speckled like the freckles he once kissed
