*~careless~*
i don't like your careless ways and no
i don't mean in that "careless whisper" kind of way
you are not a good friend
yes
i know you know the song
your better-than taste in music doesn't fool me
we all have our cheesy side
we've all cried before
i don't think the name calling was necessary
calling me those words won't make me stay
won't make me love you
won't bring anything back
when you call someone a cunt they don't come running back
oh yes
i see your wounds
i see your aching and your poor me's
i see your pride
i wipe my feet on it
did you expect different
do you see the "i don't care" in my eyes
in the slamming door
in my "nevermore"
and yes
i do think i'll leave a raven at your door
to haunt you
because i don't have the time
careless fool
*~delicious~*
books and letters
the way your hair smells
my shadow on the sand
pictures of children
a stranger's eyes
a mocha with no whip cream
love
laziness
beads of sweat
his laughter
memories
eating ice cream on the pier
dancing like a fool
'sugar'
cheesy t.v.
reading in the bath
memorizing the lines on your face
my overalls
dog kisses
a movie seat
'chasing amy'
too many emails
new shoes
peace
hearing your name whispered
friends
life
*~feelings~*
they are not always so dark
thought they stick to my soul and collide with my voice
i want to let go
yet i hang onto them and hide them and tuck them in
they are brilliant and stupid
but they are mine and not yours and not always pretty
you ask for them
do you really want them and can you handle the truth
they are mine
so i write them and i sing them and i shout them
they are not always so bright
though they shimmer in the day and they shine in the night
