Listen to me people
I'll take you on a journey
To places far away
Hold on tight and listen
From my mind
To yours today

Places of adventure
With people intertwined
With stories
And great places
That come from in my mind

some say  I am a prophet
I'm a storyteller too
Open up your mind to me
That's all you have to do
I will take you from the present
To the past and farther on
I am the storyteller
Close your eyes, and please hold on

Characters of fiction
Places that are real
Melt them both together
Tell me how you feel

Mixing words and music
In a portrait in your mind
Listen to the colours
As the words and music bind

some say I am a prophet
I'm a storyteller too
Open up your mind to me
That's all you have to do
I will take you from the present
To the past and farther on
I am the storyteller
Close your eyes, and please hold on

Dance to what you're hearing
Relax and float away
Listen to the story
Your're here, so now let's play

Combine the words and pictures
With the music and you'll see
The storyteller's story
And The Story Teller's me

some say  I am a prophet
I'm a storyteller too
Open up your mind to me
That's all you have to do
I will take you from the present
To the past and farther on
I am the storyteller
Close your eyes, and please hold on

"What are those?" You pointed to the scraggly white lines bruised upon my stomach.

"You know what they are," is what I wanted to say. But I bit the words and swallowed them and felt them pin and ***** my inner linings. I wanted to drive a razor across your skin, make sure you bled the same.

"Nothing."

"I thought you had stopped?"

"I thought so too."

I was hoping words of courage, endearment. A pat on the shoulder, arms around my tired back. I wanted to escape into the place that held your tin heart. I wanted to watch Good Eats and laugh about things that didn’t matter. I didn’t want ***.

But you did. You pushed my head down, ignoring the scars, ignoring the tears.

You could have taken a knife to my throat. It would have felt all the same.

I keep dreaming
of people who leave me
I even wonder
in times of deep slumber,

where I went wrong.

In the bible
They say death
Is a lie but
If I'm already
Dead then
Why should I
Even care?

the stars cant decipher
what i see in
you
through your eyes
i reach the heavens
in skies ever so
blue.

I sat and played all that we've done
Through my mind last night
And now that we are over
I see that you were right

In all our time together
All we did was disagree
But, finally you got it right
With...It isn 't you it's me

It isn't you it's me you said
I thought hard all through the night
It's not my fault and all I found
******* it you were right
It's wasn't me at all I see
It was you...I see it now
It was not me at all I see
It was you, I know that now

We'd fight about a little thing
It would grow and we'd just yell
We said things to each other babe
That would end us up in hell

But now that we are over
I must finally agree
When you said to me....don't worry
It isn't you ...it's me

It isn't you it's me you said
I thought hard all through the night
It's not my fault and all I found
******* it you were right
It's wasn't me at all I see
It was you...I see it now
It was not me at all I see
It was you, I know that now


I thought hard about all we did
About our fights and names we used
And after fifteen long long years
I see it was me that was abused

We argued all the time 'bout things
Mostly old, and rarely new
But, in the end....I'll take your side
It wasn't me...'twas you.
