i woke up in a strangers bed again
but one ive known for weeks
its funny that i should mentioned that
cause im so scared of what youd think of me
when you said theres no excuse for doin all these things
but im not myself
havent been in months
havent seen the brighter side of things
havent been sleepin much
or sayin enough
you keep telling me
you dont know what you want
but theres an irony here my dear
im not so sure either
i keep waking up
in someone elses sheets
as much time as i spend with you
i know you dont belong to me
i cant see me
ever feeling complete
the longer i get to know you
the more dependent i become on me
we will last one month i think
for me thats commonality
get your shit together and leave
im always a phase of learning
but thats alright with me as long as ur happy
i can feel my heart breaking
not cause ur leaving me - theyre always leavin
but because we always say what we mean
at the ending of all things

who are you?

i keep letting you sleep in my bed
when im away
naked or clothed
weve reached the point where its all the same
are we the same
can we relate?
i lit a fire in me to stay sane
i was cold and alone
you were there keeping pace
sometimes i wake up sweating in the middle of the night to your face
sometimes when we are talking i forget your last name
are we the same?
can we relate?
am i happy in your hands?
or am i happy in hands
i cant explain
on a morning i woke up next to you
and the existential hue of your skin
staring long enough the questions left unanswered kept me up
who are you ?
whereve you been?
im lost inside a bed of sin and lonliness lured me in again
am i happy in your hands or am i happy in hands
i cant explain
are we the same can we relate?
who are you ? whereve you been? am i happy in your hands?

bring on the thunder
bring on the storm
i heard your body fall to the floor
pupils dilated shaky hands and knees
i can’t believe you were dying
right in front of me
i forgot to tell you i love you
this world it moves so fast
but time takes forever
when you’re depressed
pick up the pieces
remove the heavy parts
i carried you out to the car
you broke your own heart
picking at your food
in an empty hospital room
where it rained everyday
and you couldn’t remember my face
i forgot to tell you i love you
oh time it moves so fast
but life takes forever
when you’re depressed
I’m sorry i was asleep
you could have woken me
like i should have woken you
months ago
I’m sorry it got this bad
I’m sorry i didn’t notice again
is everything ok? x6
everything is o.k.

june 7, 2012
in my dreams we found an old, yellow ford
cortina full of marigolds in the woods
we were happy
i cant remember why we were there
or how long wed been
the details all slip away from me now
but i distinctly remember everything seemed to be glowing
---
we stopped talking on the 9th of may
i mean - we still exchanged words
but i knew it wasnt the same
i kept teling myself i was going to make it
through the dark times
but nothing glows here like it did
in the forest on that night
out here everything looks like rust
the rains havent stopped for well over a month
and i havent heard from you since
i didnt know not talking was worse than not speaking
but it is
oh my god, it is

speaking terms (someday)
05:44

we wont talk anymore
we wont talk anymore
and i wont ask how youve been
and i will stop wondering
if you ever got those pictures developed
and i wont ask about the games you play with xxxx
and i wont steal all your notebooks
to write messages in them
we wont even talk about the weather
and i wont need to cause it's been
gloomy ever since i can remember
and i wont sit on the kitchen floor with you
and drink a beer or two
while you make us dinner
and i wont lay awake at night
in your bed
and just think about
how lucky i am
to have met someone so like me
in such a terribly
cruel city
ill stay busy
forget me
but ill remember u this way
when we meet again someday x2
ill remember you this way x6 (?)
i just had nothing left to say

why?

sister,
why don’t you come down now?
from your manic states -
always pulling you out of the ground
and mother,
why don’t you seek some help?
were all worried for you now
not ready to lower you down
and father,
why don’t you help me out?
i can’t do anything else
why did you let me down?
and if there is a God above
can i please speak to someone else?
if you're really listening -
"why?" is so rhetorical now
