Writing
i'll never ask for anyone but you.
& i just deleted songs that made their way back into my ipod
when i was cleaning out my laptop's mind
but i threw them out before they
could mess up me again sometime
cause i don't need another excuse to break down
i'd be that queen in love with her clown.
married to the king but needed a laugh
either way you go humor comes in last.
i'm a midnight mess already
i'm playing music and i get petty
forgetting words as they spill out
tell me i'm pretty even when i pout.
cause tonight i'll be a silhouette
of what you once needed to regret.
the man next door has spent his months in bed
and they all came to hear the final words he said
their cars parked midnight down the street
(remember people you will never meet)
tuesday might have been raining day or dark
when his chapter came to the ending part
blood pressure slowing to its subtle halt
but his heart beat on as though it wasnt his fault
his wife said with a thin grin he loved for many years
"maybe your heart is as big as those ears."
and then he died, the completion of his story's final draft
all he needed was one more chance to hear her laugh.
i did not know him well at all
but i felt truth because this is how you fall.
i promise that i will never fail to care
as long as you plan on being there.
cause tonight i'll be a silhouette
of what you once needed to regret.
