harsh

i don't want you back.
just to clarify.

for sanity's sake

my heart aches
and your little smiles
and subtle hints
and guarded words
do nothing.


man up.
come out
and say it.

"i'm sorry"

ambiguous

my hands move up and down the walls
up and down the long dark walls
trying to find a hole, a light
something to break through this deep, dense night
my hands move up and down the walls
up and down the long dark walls
then
a lightswitch! a flicker! a sunbeam! a blaze!
a something to light up this darkness to day!
but you yank my hand from that precious switch
and throw me down to the floor again


how does one use literary criticism?

if i never see your face again

it's happiness without the heartbreak
it's symphony without the song

"i am in misery
there ain't nobody who can comfort me
why won't you answer me?
the silence is slowly killing me
(oh yeah)"

in the Words

(of Satan)

Most of the time, I look at you and laugh.
You fall for it every time, you stupid, stumbling fool.
You cannot see
You cannot see
You CANNOT see
That every time you fall, you get up again weaker than you were before.
It's so easy to tempt you down that road you call "free will"
When I'm just drawing you into my worldwide plan of ultimate rebellion.
So your pain delights me
Your sorrow gladdens me
Your anguish amuses me
I laugh at you. "God's child" indeed.


(of God)

Most of the time I look at you and cry.
You turn away every single time, you beautiful, blessed child.
You cannot see
You cannot see
You cannot SEE
That my love and faithfulness are ever poured out upon you.
You drown yourself in selfish sin that in the end leaves you dripping with pain.
My heart aches with you, my beloved.
So I will follow.
I will pursue.
I will rescue.
I love you. And one day sin will reign no more.

"is frowned upon in this establishment!"

the new E*TRADE commercial is hysterical.
