ugh
Hung...

Trying to get over...it
Half the time,..I don't even know what.I'm.
Doing...
There's been too much w (h) in e .
...I know
that much.

I.Fell.
Hard.
I think it smacked me...
stupid.
I think it's got me...
******.
To think; I think; if I can write
the...right...
words...
It will change the whole
song.
I must be moronic//
my brain is just complete mush.
The band long since left the stage....
and the mics have all been hushed.
There is no combination; or action; or words
I know; I know; I know;
that can change your mind or change.the.
world.
enough for US to ever...work...
I keep telling my simple self
{some small part knows the truth}
But here I am still s p i l l i n g l e t t e r s...
...I s t i l l keep w a n t i n g......
you.

I'm sorry my, dear
But you
just
aren't
Her
...I could only give you what's left of my
heart
...Now,...; isn't that a
lo(n)vely
Start...

My regrets, sweetheart..
You look so pretty in that dress,
As I watch you undress...
...and you fit the space in my bed so
Nicely;
...a reprieve from its emptiness.

My apologies, my girl;
I know you want to love me through
tomorrow;
but-that's-just/not/fair.

I feel badly, my darling...
...It's not/your/fault.
She's seeped in my teeth
and nothing tastes.the.same.
...since she's gone...

I'll tell you, beautiful one,
Thank you, for how you
Hold me.
...It's nice here...
But I
just
can't
...stay.
Since September;,...everything
changed.

...and after they had finished speaking...
tucked soundly in her sacred
bed...it...rained...it poured...the most
delicious sound her ears could hear...it
rained...and, so...christened...she and
she...and what it all could be....

I should thank.you.

You left.

Our toes were in the sand,...
when I saw your eyes
...fade
Something in the timing of your...blink
...something vacant in all//that//green
So vivid; the moment//sepia tone Poloroid in
my brain.
...more honestly,...I felt it,... mostly
You had stopped
seeing
///me.
Ohhhhh,... you let~me~love~you
one.more.time.
You rushed in and then.you.were.out.
{how you always liked to
Come
and go}.
And there was little ten/der/ness in it
Your eyes had always pul(owned)led me
in...

Until. that.
Mo/ment
...and I Knew.
It was
over.

of course,... I get it
Where/can/it/go
why.bother.even.try/ing
You're playing it smart
Protecting your
...heart.
For me...it's was just.too.late...
too many...connects;
...not every{any}
one is...like you,...and so that/is/my/problem.
The more im pos si ble// = so romantic
It's like fuel to a fire
...and the years/lifetime be/tween //me and you
scream how much more....learning
I have to do
And there is no fault...really,
...longing is.the.beast...
We've both been here before
You already know...
She {insatiable brute} will not
stop...//...harnessed heart...//leading
thoughts and pulling parts...until...
...maybe,...we have the guts
To set -- her --
Free;
onto you//into me
