Pandora - Anna Domino

As I turn my attention from the spreading stain

On the ceiling near the corner by the door

The ambulant shadow of an aeroplane

Passes over the object on the floor

A lavender afternoon is gone… again

Or my hands have blocked my vision

Please turn the thoughts down in my head… against

This swirling mass of indecision

And I will make my bed hard as I can take it

And I think that I know myself a bit too well

Now… I will never say what brought me to break it

The damage has been done, and I will never tell

I wish you could be here on this afternoon

Under sulphurous suffocating sky

Till the lightning and thunder brighten up this room

And the storm finally breaks behind my eyes

You can see things that I can only feel… to be

Locked away, their true nature can’t be guessed

And weren’t you just about to reveal to me

The nature that lives within this chest?

And I will make my bed…

I will never tell

I will never say

What brought me to break the seal of hell

I will never tell
