eyes as eyes.
  hands as hands
touch so dry
  evidently bland
lips as simple
  as your reflection
obvious and transparent
  strenous affection
good as bad
  bad as worse
sweet as sour
  love as curse
walk away my dear
  while you still can
I'm the hourglass
  You're but a
grain of sand...

I heard a word on the street today.
Just passing through, on my way to nowhere
And I heard it. A man breezing past
Breathed it to another and I turned my head.
We'd never met before, had no
Connection but this word. That terrible,
Wrenching, blinding word that no one is
Supposed to say.

Loneliness. And it opened that gulf;
That carefully stitched cavern that no one is
Meant to see. And I turned my head back
Round and walked away, like I hadn't
Heard. Keeping up appearances.
Carrying on.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm alone drinking a bottle of Captain 100
and watching Almost Famous without you
Happy Valentine's Day.

I have to go, you know
and with my last breath
I blow, my love tho I
am to blame for this game
you played me well but
I won't kiss and tell
Just a silly notion anyways
No-one like you ever stays
and tho you may not understand
the tears upon my hand
and tho you may not have loved me
a good man, in my eyes you will be
you are still setting me free.
I have to do this
I have to go
and my love's been
wasted so
I will remember
those words from you
and I will imagine
each one was true
And its okay
I have a plan
I have no need
for any man
I have no need
for silly words
and all the lies
have been absurd
I wont let them do it
oh no not me
no other man
can set me free
and this is how
it shall be
You dont know me
and this is why you flee
-----
let me help you with that door.
