Is he out with your cousin again?. Don't you know where your cousin's been?. I heard he's running with a prostitute. Oh, your aunt's so upset. And your man is keeping secrets.
I'll try to describe the way that it felt. To tell my own mother her son is a failure. His heart is too cold to love anyone but himself. . It's like stabbing an icicle straight through your chest.
when the horses come to drag me away,. . i won't fuss and fight i won't plead or beg.. and wherever they dump me i'll lay my head.. i'll sleep it off..i'll sleep alone.
You look at me like you've been saved. From another one that got away.. So I'm your latest cup of tea. To keep your cold hands company,. And I will warm you..
It's been two years this month since the last time we spoke. And it's starting to seem that the only thing everlasting. Is this vow of silence. . Well, I guess that's the vow that we took - but not at first..
"Bon voyage" was something that I once said. And eventually regretted. But, its come up again and I wonder if. The same mistakes I used to make could be remade.
i can't do this anymore:. stay in, black out, hit the floor.. i've forgotten what i'm hiding from. but mama called and cried to me,. "baby, your anniversary was last tuesday.".
Tell me, dear is there anything you'd like to hear?. One last song before we disappear?. Some broken hearted ballad built for two. By the way, it seems my notebooks have all been misplaced.
he met this girl from reno. . whose life was a competition.. she looked just like a china doll. with porcelain skin she knew he'd let her win.. so he fell for her,.
Yesterday came and went and I wasn't present. The weeks were laid out like pavement. Work and drink and sleep, repeat. Upon the beaten path. I kept on my blinders....
Called in sick for work. said the fevers getting worse. There's a lot of that going around. I packed a duffle bag. With some clothes from the attic. It's getting colder in the evening.
Well I'm trying to be patient. But the wheels keep turning round. But it's a treadmill and I just dragging my feet. I'm so tired of everything. Defeated by routine.
I stumbled in at three a.m., but you didn't want to, I tried again at half past ten - you still didn't want to, Your hips have this way of saying no way; an impenetrable barricade. Something I said? Something I did? What's made you so defensive? Something you heard? Something you learned? The season's changing, it's for the worse..
It's different when you're lonely,. the whole world's in love.. Holding hands between bar stools,. and you're holding your tounge.. Hold on - you're so fucked up....
Drunk at the bar at last, last call - my baby's home on her night off, So I'm involved in a serious talk with a girl I had known growing up. So we buy a six; decide to split - she has a downtown apartment. She opens the door, falls to the floor, says, "I'm bitter sick of sweet and pure, take me now I'm yours.".
I know a girl with cuts on her legs. I think that she hates the way she was made, but we never spoke of why they were there, I just squeezed them and kissed them 'til we both felt a bit better..
1994. A girl pukes out the window on her car door. Her childish eyes say, I dont want this anymore. I want to be a woman, no, no, see, I dont want to be no whore.
You never fell for me,. You fell for how it felt. You felt for being held,. So, who's gonna fill in. Now my arms refuse to bend?. Who's gonna fill in.....
I swear to speak the whole truth, nothing but the truth oh, so help me God, I wasn't cheating on you. Yeah I've got a spotty record, but I've been renewed. If you can't believe me then what's to believe? Once you lose the trust you lose sincerity. I'm sick and tired of acting sincere to your accusing eyes and ears..
When you said you loved me, did you really love me or did the words just spill out like drool on my pillow. 'Cause I was naked when you said those words, but I felt covered in your whispered worship. And as you passed out fast on my shoulder, I imagined a child waiting so sad and still for his mom to arrive. Did she leave you an orphan, in that big, brown leather chair? Said, " Don't you move a muscle, kid, I'll be back in twenty years," You were scared, you were lonely, but you must've been aware; life is a series of calluses, this is just another layer. So, build'em up, tough it out, yeah, that's your skin - don't let anyone under there..
