Jennifer Jason Leigh

A still life of holy sacraments
a drink, a candle, and a broken pen.
The prayer that you've said and will say again.
The words you've whispered but never meant
so it's okay no one's answered.

Recap

In the dream I had about you
my name was your new tattoo
but when I pushed up your sleeve
I saw there was more
than just me
In the dream I understood
in the way good dreamers should.
Awake I wondered again
about these other men.
Because it seems
such a favor to me
you keep me company
if that's not weird to say.
I said it anyway.

You changed your picture
to show the whole world
somebody loves you
you're one lucky girl
you don't have to do that
I already knew
How couldn't I know that
when I love you too
The picture I keep
you're slyly smiling

Free At Last (complete)

A cast came off something broken
a fall where you hit too hard
the plaster turned grey with devotion
you wore the sling like a scar
sometimes somebody signed it
each name faded with time
alone with your hurt
it only got worse
got worse until it got fine.
Now what's broken is mended
it's pain you can put in the past
the saga you sought has finally ended
and now you are free at last.
the saga you sought has finally ended
and now you are free at last.
