I wore his hat backwards,
And laughed at everything he said.
And my thought hung in the air,
If he'd be taking me to bed.

Put your heart out there,
Put your whole self out there,
Just leave things, let them be,
Cause goodbye kisses are the sweetest thing to me.

And see you soon.

Pour into me and I'll be your flask.
Take a swig when you need it.
Fall onto me and I'll be your cushion.
Leave when youre ready to.
Curse at me and I'll be your fondest memory.
Look back at me when you need to.

I'm many things. But I'm not your doll.
And I'll speak when I want to.

I wish I was still sitting beside him on the couch.
The IV drip counting the time and the smell of his shirt sitting in the air.
I never got to ask him what to do.
I never got to ask him how to love.
His eyes are forever shut.
And so is my heart.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
But a picture of you, is worth one.
*******.

Why don't you forget about me.
When you're feeling lonely.
When you need a ****.
How about you forget about me.

I am not your cigarette
Smoke me and leave me on the pavement.
Why don't you forget about me.

Why don't you leave me where you found me.
Alone.

Such a moody colored mess
Lying between the sheets.
"Not today"
Let me sleep.

A swollen throat,
From all the things she never said.
"Not today"
Let me lay here in my bed.

And the clouds pressed onward,
And her cares hung above her head.
Such a wild mind she wrestles,
In this beaten bed.

"Not today"

I sit on the stand-still lake,
Running my hand through the water.
I see the fish swim below.

Completely dry,
I'm merely floating.

And here comes the wake.
The rippled rush.

I'm submerged.
Down I plunge to the bottom.
Sitting in the sand.

I hold my breath.
