S-o-u-l-m-a-t-e
when asked to define
I pull out a picture of you
and declare "well he's mine"

Crawl to me
Out the window
Past each family
Snug in their beds
In their cookie cutter suburbia;
Keep trudging on
Down dark desolate streets
Towards my open arms

Down on her knees
She sinks and pleads
For the chance to mend
What she's destroyed within

His Mind is torn
Between the two
Leave this behind
Or cave in

Thankfully for them both
Love always wins

Is it fair
For me to be
So distressed
When I was supposed to be
Your one and only.
Is it wrong
For me to be
So infuriated
With the fact
That you loved
Another
For I have loved many..
Yet what differs
Between you and I
Is I spoke
And you lied
So now I'm left
With your kin
Filling in
The gaps
You left

Numb
Light a match and youre free
From hands once woven
tightly round your neck.
You can escape for a while
Laugh and smile
Like nothings wrong
Let go of all thats going on;
I try to escape too
But when I light a match
the hands squeeze tighter
Instead of coming loose.

I've been fighting
The devilish tongued liars
All night
With the door locked tight
Pitch black in the corner
Back towards the truth tellers
Who refuse to speak louder
Than the hum from a lightbulb
Thats filament has long since shattered;
I know its there
Somewhere
But its dark and my backs still turned
And my ears can only hear what has been said towards my face

You have to know
This sets me off
Into a never ending panic
You cutting me off
Short
Sending me away
Like before
No longer worthy
Of your thoughts
Or conversation even
What have I done now
Maybe
I am
Too much
To handle
Too clingy
Too needy
Too ****** in the head
And I've trapped you in the corner
With my constant problems
And need for you around
Me
I am
The cause
Of all
That is wrong

So

D i s t a n t

Is

what

I

Will

Become
