Invented, cont

There's a cinematic end; I picture it just right—
             Having trouble with the right words
                 (butyoutellmewithyoureyes)
There's something good I've missed; something I can't find—

Do you believe me now?

Can you see it in my eyes?

Invented

You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted

I live in constant debt

                 to feel you

i n v e n t e d.

cry if you want (it's the return of No Sensitivity)

                      You don't have to scream
to say something that you honestly mean.

Work & play were never okay to mix the way we do

I can't say I was never wrong—
—but some blame rests on you.

Polaris

You say that love goes anywhere;

"in your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there."

    when you go,  I'll  let  you  be,

butyou'rekillingeverything in me.

For Me, This is Heaven

This is what she says gets her through it—

"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?"

If not now, when?

Drive

" Your lips go dry (butthey'resweetinside)—

                            wine must go right to your head. "

every sentence a failure

A slant rhyme is all I can give;

          a half-truth is all I'll get.

The Most Beautiful Things

Show us all what grace can mean;

              all of what I might be.

(closeyoureyescallitescape)

We'll run away from everything.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

This year, to save me from years,
I'll give it to someone special.

"Futures"

(what matters is what hasn't been)

we're wide awake and we're thinking

my darling--

believe your voice can mean something.

"if you don't, don't..."

If you don't-- don't know, why'd you say so?

(would you mean this, please, if it happens?)

If you don't know, why would you say so?

(won't you get your story straight?)

If you don't--

well, honey, would you just say so?

('cause I need this now more than I ever did)

If you don't,
well, honey,
then you
don't .

"No Sensitivity"

The world don't spin without you--
I'm amazed you're standing still.

Taking my kisses back;
I want my kisses back from you.
