lyrics
the lights tonight
are lacerated by her eyes
fragments dance of red and green
above her blue iris ravines
entranced to find
new faces over friends and wine
strained introductions through the flat
cacophony of common chat
this crowd is tough on the two of us
with its festive equal parity goals
she never understood all the fuss
she sighs,
"This Christmas I
just want somebody to hold."
her last resolved
with mild lamenting on the phone
the year relationship collapsed
no real relating had elapsed
we can't belong
when half a million people can be wrong
no deep connection to this date
this city has no soul to mate
this town is tough on the two of us
with its desperate equal parity goals
and other significant oversights
she sighs
"This Christmas I
just want somebody to hold."
