I am trying so hard to write a song filled with meaning
but every word combination has been used before
love like sunsets
fighting the truth
all stolen images, copies of a copy
my mind isn't right right now
only five hours last night
i have a physics test to study for and a room to clean
the ever growing to-do list scrolling through my head
sometimes i consider just closing my eyes and hoping the tasks will all disappear
but come morning the list only seems longer
i miss virginia because i miss him
there was no perfection in that sunshine weather only love and sex and tears and laughter
the little gifts of everyday that make me feel deserving of happiness
i don't know what i will do without him
in his room on the last night i started crying, hideous tears
mascara black over burning red cheeks
because i realized just how much i need him
a simple mistake, a careless half descision, a grabbed wrist and a heart break
did you know it shoots through your left arm, when you are simply melting in piece?
these little tingles, like when your feet fall asleep, filling the gaps between muscle and bone
that's where all the tears you have no more energy for hide
up inside your shoulder blade
today in class, the aimless droning
i copied down something but i'm not sure it was notes
maybe lyrics with oictures, maybe brilliant unwravelings
i decided not to read it over
acting class is a presentation of bullshit and errors in language
i wrote that down too, all the incorrect and idiomatic expressions she used
"let's get the giggles out"
"that was lovely"
"Can I ask you to crawl on your knees behind the walker and scream your lines like you're desperate to be heard?"
giggles are not tangible
lovely does not describe pain
and you can ask all you want but i may not concede
the way everyone is so careless bothers me
language, poetry is how i understand the world
no one says what they mean anymore
expression has made us liars
i wonder how long it will be before i start to do it too?
broken heart and torn up letters
