does it matter
Stephanie said she waited
She said she'd stayed awake
To this saint of dreams she traded
all her time for the mass it gave
that the sky is blue
that blood turns red
that your thoughts are viewed
in the shape hung above your head
that when I'm with you
there's a silence from beyond our bed
that it's hard to prove
it's so strange how our time is spread
Rachel swore she'd finished
hating how she felt
To her pastor she concented
to drain his one cup left
that the moon still shines
that it pulls from there
that we cry for help
that we pay to stare
that when I'm without you
I know absences so deep they tear
it may yet be proved
there's no reason or cause to care
To many yes - to others no
To so many yes - to too many no
