Surrounded by these people I thought were my friends
Peddling their goods, displaying what price their heart is for sale:
Some of the rich sold cheap plastic jewelry
Some of the old were bungee-jumping inside a mall.
Out of nowhere you showed up
We were partnered, not like now where I
Haven't seen you in a year
I was surprised it was you this time
You must be the understudy
To my usual cast.
The timeline is hazy
But you were upset
You thought I was hiding it
Among this group of friends
You started sobbing
I was baffled and ashamed.
You wanted me to take your hand.
I seized your milky white palm in mine
And walked through th
There is so much more to life than you
Though you cloud my every thought
Manipulate my every move.
You know how to say just the right thing
To everyone else
You make it abundantly clear whom you love
I am stuck over here in freak land
In a torture room of my own making
I'd like to ask someone for help
To stop loving a person instantaneously
But you are the supreme expert on the subject
And we're not talking.
We're both at this point
Where we have nothing to lose
Because I am incapable of hurting you
The way you have hurt me
And you're incapable of feeling feelings
You self-centered shrew.
Even though I hate you
I wish I cou
Too much noise inside my brain
Can't think, can't blink
Just when I think I've figured out the answers
My heart starts bleeding again
No tourniquet in sight; only more knives.
I wish you weren't left out of reach
But there are tears whether you're near or far.
I've brought this on myself? No.
You have all brought it on me against my will
All I have ever wanted was happiness, contentment
Lo and behold I've found it
And then you all have to rip it away again.
How to pass the hours each day
That's all we need to know
If we can't figure that out now
What makes us think
We'll figure it out in the next life?

We Were At A Cajun Restaurant
We were at a Cajun restaurant
A whole group of us
We parked our cars in grassy fields
But it was raining, torrential
There started to be mudslides
And I worried how we would leave
Rich people landed their helicopters
They wouldn't have the mud to worry about
This was a very popular Cajun restaurant.
I was very thirsty, and behind me were sitting my parents
They had a pitcher of water, so I got up to get some
Then I had to pee, so I went to the back of the restaurant
To find the bathroom.
It turns out it was at the front of the restaurant.
I don't remember if I made it there
Because then you grabbed my hand.
You knew I had been
Every day I wake up
And I have something new to tell you:
I want to talk to you about last night's reruns
I want to tell you how I have this song stuck in my head
I want to show you pictures of the house we want to live in
I want to bemoan my idiot family and how I love them to pieces
They're not important details, no life-changing news
Because I know the life-changing stuff is not what you want to hear
You don't want to know how I'm growing into my own
You don't want to hear how I'm changing for the better
But when did we stop being able to talk about the past?
When did it become offensive for me to say "I miss you?"
Last night's
She said
People have a tendency
To not make much of a relationship
With people they know are leaving.
I said
Well if that's how you look at things
Aren't we all on the way out?
Even that baby you hold in your arms
Is put on a countdown
The minute it emerges, covered in goo.
So tell me darling
Exactly in what circumstances
Should I make anything of this relationship?
Or were you just trying to tell me
That everybody is trying to leave ME?
Surrounded by these people I thought were my friends

Last night's
God loved the two girls at the end of my street.
Everywhere they went, they went together,
hand-in-hand so they didn't get lost,
laughing at everything and nothing
all at once.
He was so proud of them.
They never stole, they never swore,
they brushed their teeth twice a day
and always said their prayers.
It was a gift, said the townspeople,
that two girls as perfect as they were
were born in the same place.
an even greater gift, said they,
that those two were the best of friends.
Long nights spent giggling in rooms with closed doors
was a good thing, back then.
One day,
halfway between their houses
and in the middle of th
