I woke up changed..
                                      finally coming out of the dream,
seeing past all the lies..

Turn the corner.

You'll find
Endless sunshine
for your mind.

Give me a man with a beard and tattoos
a passion for books and a love of the blues,
a sharp sense of humour, his outlook carefree
and a belly that jiggles, no six packs for me. 

Give me a man who can't help but sing,
who sees beauty in raindrops and other such things,
one that laughs at my faults and excites at my plans
one that's proud to tell everyone that he's my man.

Then I'll give him a woman that smiles oh so proudly
and proclaims love undying from rooftops, quite loudly
I'd take care of him as he takes care of me
a happier duo you never will see.

Send him my way tightly wrapped in a bow,
I'll handle with care and unwrap nice and slow
this gift from the heavens sent here from above,
then I'll drag him upstairs and near **** him with love.

Blessed we all are we know it with expanding technology we are so blessed with. Unlike our ancestors, we no longer beat our clothes on a rock after
washing them in the nearest stream. Now we stream a video. Aren't we lucky?
Firewood, is now a luxury. Only the rich warm themselves, by the fires We hack and split oak now for fun.
Now when we hack it's Home Depot or Target we seek For a real warming.
We drive almost on autopilot, with GPS and text. We are just so **** busy paying attention, we don't see the collision.
Mom used to make dinner. And all the family would gather.Discuss politics or homecoming. Now politics are virtually one sided and homecoming is done on Skype. Hello poetry.
Think about it.
Are we better off?

"Confused"
I think.
"Are we good?"
I ask.
You nod,
my smile widens
but in my mind
there is dark
and I know.
You aren't okay.

I wonder if there is a moment
that you are.
It seems all the time
you aren't
and that it is all my fault.
Screaming voices
crying sound
clawing for air
I am choking
just to know.
All I get is
"I'm okay."

Though I know you aren't.
It scares me
to death.
That all you do is hurt
and you get
blood red eyes
quivering lips
sweat
shaking.
The outside is very truthful.

Now I'm lying
my smile hides
the pale white face
the red eyes
quivering lips
matted hair
claws on the skin
bodies bleeding
screaming
choking back tears
whimpering.
Now I'm hoping
that all that happens tonight
is that you smile
say
"I love you."

I've watched you fall for girls
over and over again
I watched your heart been broken
and suffer miles of pain

I've always been there
to pick you up when you fall
Been a shoulder to cry on
a companion through it all

Still you carry on drowning
in all these endless tears
And if you don't stop now
You'll carry on through the years

I swore the last time it happened
I'd pull myself away
Walk out the door and say goodbye
never again would I stay

But once again I'm back with you
holding you as you cry
"I'll leave for real next time" I say
but we both know I won't try
