"Go back. I don't want you."
Do you know how much that stung,
Your words hit me like a whip,
Shock and taken aback I shied away,
Running into my room,
I stare at the ceiling with a blank look,
Hiding my agony and tears inside,
I lay still and silent.

You come back in, angry,
Then talk it over,
You laugh and I pretend to,
Expect me to forget the words,
You're the mother,
Shouldn't you know,
I'm so easily hurt?

she saw my wrist
countless cuts ready to scar
why did you do it
i answer bluntly
you slept with my boyfriend.

You batted your baby blues
Grinned and said, "I like you"
My heart skipped a beat
And my insides felt so sweet

My crush for you had been hiding
For three years, my time I was biding
You raised my hopes up to the sky
And I felt as if I could fly

After innuendos and a stolen kiss
You had invited me into your bliss
Anticipation swelled within
I never thought I would win <3

“Truth Ruins All Good Things”

We had a good thing going, me and her.
We were inseparable, through thick and thin,
it seemed like we would always win.  
Wasn’t always easy, but we managed,
never took advantage, we loved each other.

Then one day,
she asked me to tell her the truth.
I said it wasn’t easy,
was a little bit queezy, but I did.
I told her how I really felt
about her looks,
the things that she wore,
how she kept house,
handled the kids,
and the drugs that she took.
We both lost, she walked right
out the front door.
I don’t see her anymore.
I really miss her,
would love to see her again,
ask her what game she was playing.
Definitely not LOVE.

"Swing"

Spare me the suspense  
Tell me your mind?  
no letters of security  
what happened to self control  
love and purity.  

Engaged in an act so physical  
i remain cynical  
Just sex and nothing more  
Two body moving out of time  
You will make it up,  
Make it up for me.  

You’re first through the turnstile  
To find something worthwhile  
"Swing baby fucking swing"  
I hope you’re protected  
Infection detected  
"Swing baby, fucking swing"  

What a waste  
Now you’ve had that first taste  
You want more.  
you were selected  
and i sat there and let you  
all this destruction,  
is from the corruption in my head.  

Spare me your regret  
I should not have let you  
In my mind I should have taken you  
Made you realize  
You need me and no one else  
Maybe you needed more?  
Maybe you needed a bigger cock?  
Well congratulations you found one.  

"Swing baby, fucking swing"

Friendly Fire

We entered into uncharted territory
We stepped outside of the friends category
We've been hanging out for quite a while
Feeling the sexual tension but we both in deep denial
For some strange reason you wanted to stick around
But I don't want to transition from a friend to a rebound
I started to ask you when were you leaving?
But apparently I can see the situation's getting heated
Hot and heavy we indulge in one another
We took it from the couch to under the covers
The sex was fire but did we watch our bridges burn?
Did we really reach the point of no return?
I'm concerned because things will never be the same
I don't know if our friendship is strong enough to sustain
It was just for one night we lowered our inhibitions
And trust me it was a beautiful exhibition
Just innocent fun turned into guilty pleasure
But it felt so right when we climaxed together
And I know you feel the same because you told me so
The situation is growing beyond our control
Almost like fate is this our destiny?
Was we destined to be together?
Was we meant to be?

Shaky breaths
Tears welling in my eyes
Hesitation in my voice
So i don't speak
I show you
The jaggered, white scars
On my legs, arms, stomach
Contagious tears
Instead of leaving
You felt my scars and asked
Why?
Life became too unbearable
You promised you'd be
My light in the darkness
That you will never leave
You kept that pomise
Changing relationship
We were
Strangers
Friends
Forever

Miracle Cure


we could have
had it our way, little child

ripped
the world a new one
two, three, four times over
and done it again
and again

fastened our seat belts
and been a blur in everyone's
clear, near sighted
far sighted vision

we could have went anywhere
been anything
seen everything
we cared to see

you spent seven months instead
seven
miserable
months

watching me die

cleaning the vomit soaked
bed sheets
bloodied bathroom floors
defiantly

cooked me meals
I couldn't taste
all while I
shriveled up
like a deflating
balloon

saw things you
shouldn't have seen
that no one
should be forced
to see

for my sake
you didn't abandon me
or maybe you did it
for yourself
in much the same way
I did it
for you

you refused to give in
to my diagnosis
and became my home
remedy

when flashes of life
kept my head down
you raised it up
with your optimic
tune

little child, it is because of you

that life continues
and I breathe
and I remember
and I love

it is because of you
I am upright
I am human
I am still me

I will fight
for you, little child
for the remainder of my days
that now stretch on
into years

and little child, we
can still
have
it
our
way

You know I love you more than the Chinese hooker.
Or more than all the whores in Spain .
For the matter at hand I took yours .
To be mine and like wise .
Maybe I'm dumb .
We make no sense .
I love you big dummy .
If it don't work out you will be the first to know .
To the bitter end .
You will drag me to hell.
I truly miss you somedays.
I like my reflection in your eyes .
Everybody I know said you where alright .
So how can I go wrong.
I tried to find you .
Head stuck in a rat trap .
The first place I looked .
You were not home .
Will you ever come back .
Ten million sorrys .
Conflicting stories .
With you I'm still lonely .
With out you I'm lost .
Subtract love every time you hate .
It equals uncertainty .
I can't handle the truth .
It's someone else .
But you where always the best .
At being bad .
We are like pop rocks and coke.
Motor oil and fruit loops.
The cream of the crud .
I think there maybe trouble .
There ought to be a law against you coming around .
Let split at the same exact time .
Nether of us can be blamed.
Next time I am in your life .
You won't even know .
We can never take it all back .
The parts are broken .
Things can not be fixed .
It's not me it's you .
I will end all dialog.
I am going mono .
I switched languages .
I swapped skins with a goat .
Why am I to blame .
I will call you in a hour .
I hate you .

The laying of eyes .


When I first laid eyes on you .
You slapped them .
Now I keep to my self .
I know all your secrets .
I wont tell you mine .
We were one of the same .
You knew me to good .
I don't know myself .
Who dose your tears ?
Compassion is not part of your make up .
Will you ever let me come home .
I will lay down and take the abuse.
Now there's nothing I can't do ..
If I told you lies .
It was for my own good .
You would not understand .
It simple .
I have mastered cold .
I learned it from someone .
Your stunt double .
I'm a big fan .
Your so cool the television watches you .  
I adore you on your fair days .
Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself.
When you are in the room .
I promise for now on I will check my logic twice daily .
You are all the things you called me .
No wonder we are together .
I Will never get over it .
If its what we had .
Is that what it's called now a days ?
You where just with me for my dogs .
I was with you to pass time .
I'm training in the art of sorrow .
So close but you are so far a stray .
You can't ever say sorry .
I wish you made me happy .
You make me wish I never been born.
Can you pick up some rope on your way home .
Kind words .
Love .
