The Monsters in Men

And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across the room filled with people that are less important than you.

All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love

You love, love, love
When I know you can't love me

So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it
The way you held me so tight
All through the night
'Til it was near morning

All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love

You love, love, love
When I know you can't love me

Playing Games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you.

Everything I do. 

I miss you all the time.

Heaven was a place on earth with you. 

Tell me why you do the things you do?

I heard that you love the new girl, honey, is that true? 

It's harder than I ever even knew.

I'd give up my whole world just for you. 

Only worth living if somebody is loving you.

Ah baby won't you do? 

Here

I guess I'm the one who moans about my problems. 

But only through the binary coding of the keyboard ABCs.

I rant and ramble about boys who won't love me and the way I look when I bleed from loneliness.

I write detailed evaluations of the boys who fuck me.

Then leave me. 

I've talked about the feeling of my heart in bloom. 

The springtime bursts of love that fill me up. 

Then the chills of winter that leave my garden dead once more.

I come across as a needy child.

But I guess that's all I am. 

Failure

Of all of the people who have said and done me wrong I hate myself the most.

You With Her

I'm laying on the grass looking up through the clear sky and warm sunshine kisses me. But I'm drowning. How could a day so pretty choke the life out of me. All I want now is you back. But you have someone new who you fall asleep holding. And all I can do is cry. And the water level rose until it poured into my mouth, open from begging you to come back. It swept down my throat and into my lungs and its drowning me until I'm just as dead as I used to be. Before you. When my skin cried from knifed open eyes and I counted to six hundred each day. But you were the sun that dried my tidal waves and I think the happiest I've ever been was when I'd wake up in the middle of the night to your arm across my body and your face buried in my hair. I wish there was a way for me to tell you how much those nights healed me. I never once thought about all the ghosts that haunted me. You chased them away. I was happier than if been for ages. But now that's ended and I just watched you walk across the campus with her reflecting on your eyes
