His name was Tim McKay,
And he seldom had anything to say.
But he came to the club regularly
And listened to all our discussions.
He'd nod his head and smile,
And give us a toothy-giggly grin,
And he always seemed to understand.
Tim has gone on now.
And we all miss him down at the club.
We used to sit and talk to Tim for hours.
Would you go out
on a limb for a friend?
Crawl out there among the leaves and branches,
swaying in the breeze
with sunlight dappled leaves
across your physiognomy,
And would you stay there
Long up in the air
As night set in and the stars,
Would you stay there long?
And would you saw the limb
You're sitting on? And fall?
And what would you do
when you got up off the ground?
Stirring up dirt
I throw my leg
Over the motorcycle
And hang on
Down grizzly peak we hit air
pockets of plum blossom and pine
Henry turns back and shouts to me
I shout yes I shout yes
'cause I didn't hear him
My leg stinging with wind
Where I burned it on tailpipe.
Jeffie with your house full of
cockroaches,
In the oven of your house by the sea,
We came - we came, ready for
refreshment,
To the creakings of your house -
To the mussles and sandcrabs on the
beach and in your drawers -
We came to you, in a rush off the
highway,
While you, calmly and pregnantly
cooked artichokes in the kitchen -
Then we all lay down together
Underneath the night sea wind
That played across our tired bodies
Like spanish moss.
We all agree to miss the point,
at certain times
to start again
(We work so well together, friend
Ignore-ance
serves a purpose
none of us can mend
stop asking
and start telling me
that no, I'm not okay.
and now you're falling apart as I did
and I don't know how to save you from this madness
I know I can be loud
And obnoxious
And annoying
And stubborn
But I care so much about the people I surround myself with
But with so many people leaving me
It's hard for me to tell
If the problem is with people trying to cut me at my roots
Or if it's something with me that I can't see
I see you watch her now,
It used to be me but once again it's her.
Shes noticed too but tells me she doesn't want you,
I know your pure heart,
If she ever gets to know you-
I'll be the supportive friend,
We were never meant to be,
Be happy, that's your plan.
Fix her heart, I'll fix my own.
Don't worry about me,
I'll always have a smile on my face, even when I'm too tired.
Don't look me in the eye though or else I might cry.
”Things will be fine” is their common line.
To tell you to just go away.
“Don’t touch what is mine or drink my good wine,
and no, don’t ask to stay.”
“We don’t care if you fail or end up in jail,
where it is you sleep or even if you bleed.
Just keep us mind when your struggles are over,
we love it when you succeed.”
Because they’ll be there,
like all the parties before.
Without knowledge or care,
just like a friend whore.
Every time I think
Of my old home,
My old life
All I ever want
Is for someone to love me
I don't mean to sound desperate
I don't mean to sound stupid
But I really wish
That I had someone to love me
I miss him
I miss him all the time
Every time I listen to that song on the radio
Every time I look at that necklace he gave me
I hate to say it
But my best friend is dead
His name was Jaylen
I need to let go
I need to be free
But for some reason
I can't
I can't let you go
I can't set myself free
I need to be alone
The thoughts of you trouble me
I love you and I don't know why
In all honesty your thoughts make me cry
I loved you
You where mine
Now I have suicidal thoughts all the time
"I love you Andrew"
Is all I can think
Why can't you love me too?
