Edge of Desire

There is only one place that I want to be

But the tickets to get there are not free

I won a lottery, a ticket to anywhere

But where do I go, your heart isn’t there

I lie on my mattress all night long

Listening to each word enunciated in ‘Edge of Desire’

With depleting darkness, comes dawn

Not this longing, but the night disappears


There is only one place I want to go live

But the trek there is an impossible give

Your heart is shut, someone else lives there

What use is now, this ticket to anywhere?

I’ve rooted peace in this place where I stand

In this oblivion where existence transpire

Glancing down in bittersweet contentment

From the tipping ‘Edge of Desire’
