I believe in you, yes I do
I believe in Mountain Dew
I can’t quite say how or why
I can’t quite do it or I’ll die
You want me here but I can’t stay
I know for a fact I’m a really good lay
Take your drink to the other room
Or else my ego will spell your doom
Go **** around with your new guy friend
I’m no longer going to race or contend
I’m drunk right now, as you can see
So please be nice when I cease to be

I can’t quite figure it out.
I’m standing here all alone, I’ve had approximately 5 heavy mixed drinks.
Still not drunk, just buzzed enough to notice how lonely I am.
I met eyes with the dog.
He told me it was ok.
Whether that was the alcohol or my imagination, I don’t know.
I’m glad you’re happy.
I’m not though.
It’s tough.


Being me.




Because that means I’m...








Forever alone.

My kitten is asleep right next to my lap
So I turn right over to take a nap
Can’t do that now because you’re in bed
So I turn right over and shake my head
“Can I have some cold water please?”
So I turn right over and put on a sleeve
The morning light shines bright in my head
So I turn right over and fall out of bed
You laugh at my stupidity, me the floor
So I turn right over and walk to the door
I hear your laughter throughout the house
So I turn right over and stay quiet as a mouse
You think that I could quite possibly be dead
So I turn right over and get my *** back in bed
I really need to take a steaming hot shower
So I turn right over and to you, pretty as a flower
I can’t seem to say exactly what it was about this morning
So I turn right over and laugh cause you look stupid as hell when you try to pretend that you don’t notice it when I get in the shower with you with my shorts still on because I was so distracted by how beautiful you are and completely forgot that clothes were what divided the space between my AXE shampoo and the razor that you stole from the pack that I bought because I actually borrowed your razors the other week because I was out and really needed to shave because I thought I was going to get laid later on the night but I didn’t so it’s all good.

As I bent my knee down to pray
I felt a softer wind of sway
A wind that metaphorically would tell
Is as old as time, a living hell

I can’t quite describe what this feeling is
But I know one thing, I am dead.
Dead to the world, dead to you
Dead to the sun, but alive to the moon

I live through this night, a summer blue
And forever I will, always love you
I really hate this feeling inside
The one that calls the coming bribe

I can’t quite hide it from you very well
But I know in time I’ll see my hell
In person one, two, or three
I could never quite cease to be

As much as I wish for it to go far away
I can’t shake off this falsified faith
The one that I pray to night and day
All of the words I could never say

I don’t know how to end this without hurting you
So for right now I’ll have to make do
I could never shake off this thing you see
A definite, clear and conscious part of me

You didn’t ground me, I’m just hitting a “social speed bump”
The room we share together isn’t messy, it just has “restrictive passage”
You weren’t late coming into my life, you just had a “rescheduled arrival time”
When I lean down to kiss you it isn’t because I’m tall, I’m simply “vertically enhanced”
You aren’t shy, you’re just “conversationally selective”
As much as I say you nag me, you don’t.  You’re just “verbally repetitive”
Yeah I need directions because I don’t get lost, I just “investigate alternate directions”
Yeah I’m falling for you, I think to be politically correct it’s “I love you"

I sit on the edge of a two-way path
You stand in front of me
I look and see a straight yellow line to each end
Yet, I still can’t help but look at you before I decide

I see some curves both ways
I see potholes and smooth spots
The path I chose both come out well in the end I suppose
Yet, I still can’t help but look at you before I decide

I sit here alone.
Thinking of what I should’ve, could’ve, probably needed to ...
Never mind.

Sitting here just, reflecting.
What could I have, should I have, probably needed to ...
Never mind.

You told me no.
So I didn’t do what I could have, should have, probably needed to ...
Never mind.

I’m going to sit here and think.
Of what I could have, should have, probably needed to ..
Never mind.
