we walked along the oasis
he asked me what my problem was
then like silk, i spilled. a g a i n
i poured and poured till
all but my feet were dried.
his attempts at comfort were television buzz
for I was too busy
moping for the sad creature staring back at me
from the other side of the water
sweat turned to grease
hip turned to bone
and feet turned to wheel
when you say you love me more,
i sigh. i know it's not true.
because what would happen if i stopped caring about perfection.
made more money than y o u.
here
i
am
about to lend you a
piece
of my
heart
when all i have left are crumbs
You see me everywhere,
Sometimes near the garbage,
Sometimes near you favourite restaurant.
"Yuck! Bloody animals!"
"Shoo shoo! Go away!"
I don't understand your language
But your face let me perceive,
That I'm not wanted at all.
What's my fault that
My mother was abandoned
By her family?
What's my fault that
No one's there to bathe me?
Ever wondered how hard it is
To see my father under the tyres
Of your car?
A maiden as bright as gold
A soul so young
But a corpse so old
A delicate casket to hold
Her dry and hollow bones
Seasons past amist
Sakura leaves covering her like a mist
He loves me.
He says so every day.
He loves me.
He kissed her.
He loves me.
He says he didn’t mean it.
He loves me.
He didn’t come home tonight.
He loves me.
He came back in the morning intoxicated.
He loves me.
He punched me.
He loves me.
He’s yelling that I don’t deserve him.
He loves me.
I’m lying on the floor.
I should give up.
He never sees me.
He always talks to his friends and never notices me in the back of the room, shyly watching.
I'm just the band nerd who he doesn't even know watches him at every home game.
He has no clue how much it hurts when i see him with her.
He seems so nice.
He seems so smart.
He's so funny!
But I'm just the shy nerd in the back of the room who's in love with him.
Come in old friend
It’s time to rest you feet
And let the ghosts pass by
Come in and rest your weary body
Lay your head in my lap
Let me stroke your soft ears, and
Feel your loving heart …
Beat
Come in Old Friend
Rest by the fire, and
Dream of days long past
As the flames dance in your eyes
one step at a time
one moment
one breath
I watch you
slip away from me
each word
each look
My sorrow grows
every day
little
by
little
I don’t want you to go
I want you
to stay
to laugh
Do you know the difference
between alone and lonely?
I love being alone
walking among trees
wading in the water on the seashore
listening to the silence of the night
smelling the roses in my garden
I am not lonely then, and
I can be alone
I am lonely when
no one asks
how I am doing
no one asks
is there anything I can do
no one calls
just to talk about nothing
How do I put into words
A grief so deep
It scalds my heart?
How does
This soul so lonely say
I miss you?
You are my love, and
You are drifting away
Bit by bit I am losing you.
Some days you are you, and
Some days a little more
Is gone.
I want to tell you
To stay, don’t go, but
You don’t understand.
I love you,
