free settling

the words he spoke faded from the ear, so soft, so fragile, one could barely bear the truth in them the smile he wore faded from the eye, so inviting, and eager to try to show his world to others, first just friends, then lambent lovers

living his life bite by bite, chew a little spit some out
finding the right in each trial he bore, settling for less, never hoping for more

the eyes he peered out from were of the deepest grey...so plain, so placid, like twilight rain lulling one to sleep away the hands he held out were small and secure, he was so eager yet still so unsure but night after night he?d cry as soon as they were out of sight

living his life bite by bite, chew a little spit some out
finding the right in each trial he bore, settling for less, never asking for more

never alone yet never known, he blows the candle out
another night, another body next to him, and more cheers from the crowd, from the crowd

living his life bite by bite, chew a little spit some out
finding the right in each trial he bore, settling for less, never asking for more

living his life bite by bite, chew a little spit some out
finding the right in each trial he bore, settling for less, never asking for more
