What You Want

Is there something you should tell me?. Is there something I should know?. I guess I thought that you were happy. But your eyes tell me. . Was the attention all that you needed?.

Too Late

When she first apologized. It seemed that no one cared. No one cared about her shame. No one cared about her pain. . And she could not accept. That no one gave her time.

This Is But A Test

I didn't notice that you cut your hair. I didn't notice that it was blue. I didn't notice that you pierced your tongue. I don't recall the dress you wore the day I met you.

The Getaway

Please don't chase me anymore. Nearly forgot just what I'm running for. I meant no harm, my gas pedal is to the floor. People watch this on TV. . Never thought that this could happen to me.

Still Knee Deep

Dad, can you turn the TV down?. This won't take long, I've got something to say. Don't pour a drink, you've had enough. And when I'm done, I'll get out of your way.

Seven

Father, please take me back. I don't fit in with these cruel earthlings. I've done my time, please take me home. . I was five, I was bad. You sent me here, erased my memory.

Regret

It's no use trying to make sense. It doesn't mater anyway. There's no one worth the pain. No reason left to stay. . I try to turn it off. Where did the old me go?.

Pride And Shame

Is there something more, I just can't see?. I've been so busy trying everyday to make ends meet. Been such a long time. Now I wonder, can I tell the forest from the trees?.

Officer I Swear She's 19

Just another night, another bar, another town. I was talking to myself though the guys were all around. Then she walked up started dancing on the bar.

Nothing To Lose

As we ride up the mountain. I can hear the young ones brag. Just how much they drank last night. And all the little girls they've had. . There's nothing that I'd like more.

My Wall

A middle class mom crouches on the hill. Eyes behind binoculars, she sits so still. Spots a boy going under the freeway. Whispers in her radio, going for the kill.

Late At Night

I walked in on you. I couldn't believe my eyes. I forgot to knock and I apologize. But I can't forget what I saw. . I always wondered if you had a darker side.

John

John takes a seat so he can wind his watch. Not working anymore but it's so good to touch. It's the only solid evidence of what he's done and seen. It helps him to remember his past life was not a dream.

It's Not Me

You took my closest friends. Split my family. I gave up everything I had. Except your memory but I know. . Someone will hold your hand tonight. You won't remember me tonight.

I Won't Complain Today

I Got Your Letter

This morning's light met me in the closet. Finally found your fear and loathing. I swear, I always meant to give it back. Now I don't know who to give it to.

Hey Pete

"hey pete" she said "it's not too late i still think that you're just great you need to wait in the right place where you'll meet a girl with good taste" "aw, ma don't you think i tried? i think there's something wrong inside i have no problem making friends but that's where the story ends" i have no problem hanging out then i see a glimpse of doubt and i don't understand what makes them not like me? i'm just trying to be myself but it's so far from everyone else and i don't understand what makes them not like me.

Hammering Out The Details

I find myself entrenched again. In things that just don't matter. So I throw it aside. 'Cuz I'm not gonna waste my time. . I've spent most of my life punching the clock.

Fiction

Life's so unfair, you thought. Then turned on your TV. Life's so unfair you sobbed. Then picked up the keys. . You lock your castle door behind you. To go for a ride.

Excuses

It was the alcohol you said. Took away your common sense. You don't remember a thing. Unconsciousness is your defense. . It's everybody's fault but yours.
