you

stop reading this.

go away.

leave.

bird of prey

we were creatures
of flight
we made dreams
not love.

before you came, life was a comma. after you left, fullstop.

you're gone
not even your smell
remains

look around
broken promises
silly words
lost girl

but still a dream
intact
carefully wrapped

yours to take
and make come true
i know you
will

i love you.

stuck in my head

Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

When Your Mind's Made Up

So
If you ever want something
You call, you call
And I'll come running to fight
And I'll be at your door
And there's nothing worth running for

When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There's no point trying to stop it

You see you're just like everyone
When you share your falls
All you want to do is run away
And hide all by yourself
When there's fall, there's fall
There's nothing else

When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There's no point even talkin'
When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There's no point trying to fight it
When your mind, your mind

There's no point trying to change it
When your


So
If you ever want something
Then you call, call
Then I'll come running

-- Glen Hansard

i'm sorry

you never understood why
i listened to this song
over and over
i guess
there was always a tiny fear
that i knew
i knew how it was going to end
and it turns out
i did...

how it ends - devotchka

hold your grandmother's bible to your breast
gonna put it to the test
you want it to be blessed
and in your heart
you know it to be true
you know what you gotta do
they all depend on you

and you already know
yeah, you already know how this will end

there is no escape
from the slave-catchers' songs
for all of the loved ones gone
forever's not so long
and in your soul
they poked a million holes
but you never lettem show
c'mon it's time to go

and
you
already know
yeah, you already know
how this will end

now you've seen his face
and you know that there's a place
in the sun
for all that you've done
for you and your children
no longer shall you need
you always wanted to believe
just ask and you'll receive
beyond your wildest dreams

and
you
already know
yeah, you already know
how this will end

you already know (you already know)
you already know (you already know)
you already love will end

i was so scared of getting my feet wet, i caused a flood in another part of the world

words have betrayed me today
it sounds so small, so pithy
when you say it out loud
no word i have said today
or in the past
has captured how
the smell of the air changes
how all your body weight centers in a single aching point in your stomach
how it isn't even ache but a deep seated rot
how cold your finger tips get
and how your ears burn
how sound travels slow to your ear
travels slow from your mouth
how your throat gets blocked as if with cement
and to swallow even your own saliva makes you sick to the stomach
how the shivers come and go
how it is hot when it is cold and freezing when it is hot
how to explain this?
look at me, describing the damn weather
but really
it always looks like rain now
but you don't know what that means, do you
you don't know how i hate the rains
the last monsoon i spent alone
as i will this one
o wait
that's the best way to describe it
perhaps
it should tell you enough when i say...

we didn't even get to watch the rain together.

if i wish i was a tree, what will happen to the tree?

there's a book missing
from my shelf
the perfect book
i know it is
the one i should be reading
now
i can't find it
i don't know its name
i'll wait then
for it to find me
for now i'll watch
as letters race across this screen
apparently from me
seemingly for you
who knows what's really going on
behind this mess
whether order or chaos
truth or green apples
could be any damn thing
in this universe
how many guesses would it take
to get it right
to understand
to remember
that some big things
replace little things
that some little things
make up for big things
a pair of socks you laughed at
a switch you flicked on
a TV show you ignored
a newspaper you crumpled
a plate you washed
a morsel you swallowed
a joint you pulled at
a cockroach you chased
a loud laugh
a kiss
these are all things you did
before you left
