i'll watch and crumble quietly
observing takes less guts than living
crying hurts more than giving
love is nothing but a word
that haunts with meaning
fleeting day by day
still i long for and wish those words
could whisper my pain away

but there's nothing there but steely tones
the lack of feeling penetrates my bones

drama yes, humiliatingly raw
my mind is a whirl
i feel like just a girl
silly and awkward and blushing and flawed
the torture of age is more than just wrinkles
but the vacuum of knowledge
can't i even know what I thought I knew?

so that a screw will do
any piece of you
laying with me
on top or beside
gentle or brutish
a cuddle or pounding
feels like life breathed back into
a corpse
and I get to feel like the woman I thought i was
if only for moments that devolve into memories
i reflect on, dissect and explore for some meaning
usually to conclude it was all so demeaning

must i be deprived of my crack?
do i have to drive a wedge?
the flowers smelled so lovely,
your body heat so warm
damn you for leaving and staying at once
make me pluck you out of the crevices
one by one and send you off
so i can fulfill your expectations
I'm the rejector, the bitch, the ball-buster
slowy but surely you ARE losing your luster

cause the tearing and scarring, they don't turn me on
how long will i want you just because you're gone?

come closer please
spend a bit more time
remind me why i loathed you
and sunk into my "mine"
repulse me with your bragging
and "woe is me" ways
can't we have another marathon of f*cked up days?
so I can remember that I want to run?
that you are not the one
who is tossing me out
that really you
drain me of life and inspiration?

The further you are,
the more i am longing
i hear the Debussy
remember the Baudelaire
mmmm...you are smooth with your music and rhymes
you'll have a field day out there wooing anew
yep, you were deep you were smooth, you were romantic
did i turn you into this?
did I miss all that splendor?
or were just a star-f*cking cad
and I, your clueless defender

too tired to figure it out?
so am i
why is it that I even try?
quiet my mind. make it still just one time
tell me you love me
tell me if you were half of who I thought you were,
you would be here
the man I wish you would be.


Goodbye my love, or weighted glove
or piece of cr*p or beautiful sap
this long goodbye, another waste of words
so much said, but so little purged
Goodbye you, whoever you are.
Goodbye.


I so feel the part I highlighted in blue. Thanks for posting this!
