There are rumours circulating,
About you and I,
I'm not sure what they are,
But then I'm not one to pry.

According to common gossip,
We've done so many things,
Like snuck out at midnight,
And bought each other diamond rings.

I only know those two,
From my friends big mouths,
Who exclaim these stories in detail,
Like they're something to be proud about.

But rumours are never good things,
They only cause pain,
Because people's sharp tongues sting,
As we drive each other insane.

MARITA
PLEASE FIND ME
I AM ALMOST 30

All the valiant efforts
step by step forward
reaching out to hold on,
all seem to be for nothing,
when they open their
ignorant eyes and mouths.

They say they know
they've been there before,
can see straight through
the lies, twisted feelings,
phases and occurrences

but really, who the hell
are they to say they know
the way through this eternal
hell, these wasted moments
and time spent fighting over
trivial petty materialistic
reputations and class ranking
crap

every word said must be
watched and its meaning
taken acidly interpreted,
with loathsome spiting
phrases from the depths of
the so called fiery hell,

but really, how could
they say they know the
way through this eternal
hell, when they are in
fact the ones making it up?

I could have been
a John Doe
but
you know
I survived,

I think I characterise
'true grit'
with a little bit
of fakery
only making me
human

and at blood pressure
I'm quite normal.

She was a forgiver
And he was a river
Where all her tears ran free
From his lies they came to be
And he held his hands out to the sea
And begged for forgiveness
But she was a lover
Who couldn't really see
The life that he left her
Was burdened with his mess
And she would clean it
With the water of her tears
She would sweep it with her cries
But to him it was all a show it was all lies
Cause he knew a forgiver never cries
Instead she always dies
Inside.

Your eyes captivated me the first time we spoke
The fire in your words warmed me
You told me on our first date that I would break your heart
I couldn't decide whether or not that was true
We moved fast, and I fell for you unknowingly
As time went on your fire began to fade
You planted the seed of doubt in my heart
Now you can decide whether or not you choose to water it

He thinks of another way
to tell her he's sorry
how he has always done
too many times before
it's the same as yesterday
she's tired of the worry
and games he likes to play

Yeah he knows he's hanging on
by just one single thread
when her tears she no longer cries
and she pretends to hear nothing he said
she's already two steps gone
from being just another memory

Through her words in silence
she will speak no more
as he hides behind his lies
inside her another piece of him dies

Love no longer echoes the night
where he lies next to her in bed
she just turns away her head
and turns out the light
as he tries to kiss her goodnight

She can only dream now alone
where on an empty Ocean's shore
she stood so long on her own
with just another lonely moonlight
she held inside a shadow's dance
