Faces, Names and Books

By Bruce Clifford

Faces, names, and books
Casual dirty looks
Left out in the cold
You really are so bold

Living with broken dreams
Eyes too wise to see
Wide as the ocean blue
Memories of you

Lost in time
Lost in place
Lost in a world
Lost in space

Manic depressant
Receptive arrogance

Lost in time
Lost in place
Lost in a world
Lost in disgrace

Giving up
Giving in
Where to start
Where to begin

Faces, names, and books
We took and took and took
Left out in the cold
So I’ve been told
