She Knows

by Chris Vine - Gemini

SHE KNOWS

A defiant sigh
As she watches the sky
A sip from the bottle
Moistens her cracked red lips
She snarls at the make believe
As a full moon passes by
In the dead of the night
She feels alive
And feels the gift

As she walks around
Watching
Blank smiles
On blank faces
Leaving children of honest parents
So consumed in noise
It kills the silence
She leaves the group
To wander the streets
wondering why
These people try
So hard to be someone
When all we want is you

A lonley soul 
Will still be alone
With an empty mind
or a captured heart

It will sing to the skies
With a soul thats alive
And dreams that fly to the moon

She screams with laughter
She always said
she always knew
why people drowned their spirit
In wines and spirits

They've cried away tears
Telling their memories
It's all your fault
She knows it's a waste of love
And a waste of years

The moon reflects in her eyes
They are a mirror
forall our failings
She knows never to say goodbye
To the things that shape us
Or the pain that makes us

She smashes the bottle
With empty rage
Thinks back on her life
Too short to be wise
About this lonley generation

She knows she can choose life
Nothing 
Or never decide.
