Ch-ch-ch-ch-changin' Turn And Face The Strange

False Commitment
A hazy reason floats on the shore
between yes and no.

There is an answer in the
embrace of your fingertips.

But I cannot read braille,
and my dreams are impossible.

When it comes to this,
to love, and to cherish,
to hold, and to have,
I am hopelessly disappointing.

Before the engagement night it out--
you embracing your ring, a diamond
princess cut; the cheeky lilt of your lips,
peach lip-gloss and perfect
tells me all I need to know--

Before the night is out,
I will be scaling heights I never thought
I'd climb.

But then,
anything for you, babe,
as I slip out of the bathroom door
and your life.

Forever.
