  • before the gleam of your taillights fading east

    and there's no blame

    for how our love did slowly fade.

    and now that it's gone

    it's like it wasn't there at all...


    someday closure will come

    slipping silently under the door

    infecting the air,

    opening my lungs.

    exhaling all the bitterness

    the resentment.

    manipulation does strange things to people.

    convincing them to waste years

    and years

    and years

    of their lives...

    i hated you

    and stayed.

    i loved him

    and left.

    what does that even mean?

    maybe clarity will come will closure.

    i'll hold my breath till then.


    and now i rest where disappointment and regret collide...

    lying awake at night.

  • There's someone else inside my head

    living there too fills me with dread...


    there is this fear in me.

     

    that this might go somewhere....

    like a road trip.

    and down the road there's a hitchhiker.

    and i'd pick him up

    and boot this one out.

    and continue on my merry way like nothing ever happened...

    this is not normal, i don't think.


     

    are we not, are we together?

    will this make our lives much better?

    i'm not in love.

    i just want to be touched.

  • aluminum linoleum aluminum linoleum

    instigator alligator

    instigator alligator

    I don't like snow.

    at all.

    fcuk you, rest of the nation.

    picking on texas because we're "not prepared for bad weather" during your precious super bowl

    you know why we're not prepared?

    CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE BAD WEATHER

    it's TEXAS.

    this past week is just proof of that climate change y'all have been ignoring.

    ps fcuk all major league sports.

  • you were the best thing summer gave me

    death at a funeral + pizza sammiches.

    porch couch. 7am.

    finals.

    crash? shot down.

    vodka.

    empty house.

    she shoots. she scores.

    "hey, guys.... how's it going?"

    mononoke. dr. horrible.

    3 days. meh. close enough.

    "oh no. she says she's 'neutral' towards you."

    A Tx pit stop.

    something's missing.

    expiration date.

    too late. too stubborn.

    start over.

    mess up.

    make cake.

    and when you dance with me...

     


    here's the thing:

     

    I don't know what I'm doing.

    at all.

    I'm not looking for anything.

    and wasn't to begin with.

    serious business just sounds so exhausting.

    done with that scene entirely.

    frankly, he's a hard one to match.

    and I'm just so jaded at the thought of expending effort.

    it's selfish.

    but you know I am.

    I've been nothing but honest and upfront.

    and you don't want me really.

    I'm convenient.

    here.

    but that's just it, isn't it?

    we are just physically here.

    in this time/place.

    there is literally nothing else.

    no strings to tie/bind.

    so the question really must be:

    what are you doing?

    or

    how long can we pretend?

    but like you said:

    anything's better than being alone.

    are you sure about that?


     

    better than silence and no school.

    no curfew and no rules.

    I was the last thing you expected

    to become part of your life...

  • you're from concentrate

    you're eyes hide lies.

    lies you'll never tell.

    you tried keeping me under your spell.

    stop talking the talk.

    start walking the walk.

    another mess you'll have to clean.

     


     

    you have this face you wear.

    its beautiful.

    and amazing.

    but its a fraud.

    I've seen your true face.

    and now I understand why you always keep it hidden.


     

    but I can see that obviously

    in the end,

    we were never friends.

  • our lips can touch here

    i like where you sleep

    when you sleep next to me.

    you are the one

    the one that lies close to me.


     

    i'm my own worst enemy.

    i have a penchant

    for fucking things up.

    keeping people at a distance.

    from getting too close.

    from getting honestly involved.

    and how i hate the distance once it opens

    and how desperate i become to close that gap.

    pushing/pulling.

    ocean mantra drowns me.

    why you don't run screaming for the hills

    i'll never understand.

    you must be your own worst enemy too.

     


     

    no place else i could be but here in your arms

  • there's no hope in you for me

    the space between
    the tears we cry
    is the laughter keeps us coming back for more

    geography and patience...
    they never were my strong point.

    even mountains get worn down by time.

    but will i hold you again?
    these fickle fuddled words confuse me
    like 'will it rain today?'
    we waste the hours with talking, talking
    these twisted games we're playing.

  • we've got nowhere to go, we've got nothing to prove

    instead of dancing alone,
    I should be dancing with you...

    not all who wander are lost.
    but i am.

    these thoughts consume me.

    waiting.
    waiting.
    always.

    how long can we make this last?
    "as long as we need to."

    we can't slow down even if we tried,
    if the record keeps spinning so will I.
    she likes disco and tastes like a tear,
    tells me "don't stop dancing" as she's pulling me near...
