nerveless, tingling fingers
hold my brow
snot trickles down my throat, i can
barely taste it
           residue convolutes
synapses,,confusion &lapses;
let the temple be fumigated

is this really good for me?

You used to see things as black and white, until I came along; you saw grey for the first time
I was everything you needed, but nothing you thought you wanted

Honey is sweet.
Honey is sweet as it's
poured into my throat
in a never ending stream.
But there comes a time
when I am too drunk
on the sugar to
notice that the
sweetness is too thick
for me to
continue to
choke down
anymore.

I once knew a guy who got sent away.
We wrote each other letters and talked on the phone every day.

And while he was gone, we became best friends.
But who knew when he got out that it would come to an end.

I should have known it was all "jail talk" and that you had lied.
"What happened to my best friend?" I kept asking you as I cried.

Everyone tried to warn me but I just could not see.
I told them all that my best friend would not do that to me!

But they were all right when they told me it was just a play.
I could not believe that someone would go that far for a place to stay.

But people do and say things all the time that are not true.
I did not want to accept the fact that I was being used by you.

I cry everyday because I feel as if my best friend has died.
I have thought of ways to get even because you have lied.

I need to move past this and get on with my life.
Especially now since you are married and have a new wife.

You are still trying to play me but now I can see . . . .
That for all my wishing, you were never the best friend you pretended to be.

The snow gently falls outside
Picturesque as we open our eyes to start the day
The cold sneaks in to the room
But you manage to keep me warm
So quiet, and so serene
Your "I love you's" are my soundtrack
There's no need to get out of bed yet
Let us stay for another minute

Don't sleep on me
I may be small in a wide world of people
But my heart is big and my intentions are good
Don't sleep on me
I may look timid and blush when I'm in public
But I am a force to be reckoned with and I am strong
Don't sleep on me
I may seem innocent and naive
But I can bring a passion into your life you thought would never be
Don't sleep on me
I may stutter and trip on my words
But I can speak volumes and write eloquently about your eyes
Don't sleep on me
I may tear up during sad films
But I will blind anyone who tries to hurt you
Don't sleep on me
I may kiss your forehead softly in public
But I will make sure the neighbors know my name
Don't sleep on me
I may seem quiet and forgettable at first
But we will share moments you will dream about in 50 years
Don't sleep on me
I may beg you to stay when you try to go in the morning
But I will not lose sleep over you
