Cool Water

Cool Water

I found out your lies,

now my heart beats like broken butterflies.

my voice sounds like shattered glass,

eyelashes like blades of grass

with morning dew, balanced on the tips

waiting to drip,

on cheeks like peaches flesh.

I needed you like the ocean needs the rain

yet you refused to ease my pain

i begged you not to watch me drown

dont take pride in putting me down.

now i scream uncertain curses at your back

and i've made up my mind

in fact

hate is an insufficient word

revenge feels much more real

despite the fact that i cant touch what i feel

i'll know my satisfaction,

will overcome my fears

and I'll seek my retribution

despite the cool water of my tears.

This is Not About You

This is Not About You

This is not about you

I know you think it is....

but it aint.

(and dont be correctin my english)

This ain't about how

you leave the seat up

or dont put the cap on the toothpaste

This is not about you

I know you think it is....

but your wrong.

It's not about

how its been so long

since we had anything good to say

to each other

how we watch tv to

avoid conversation,

and read the paper while we eat.

This is not about you

not about how you disregard

any self worth I once had

or how you talk down to me

so down

that I feel like

I'm about as tall as the curb.

This is not about you,

and your stinky socks,

sloppy closet,

smart mouth,

football watchin,

non cooking,

lyin ass,

self.

This is not about you....

It's about me

and what the hell am i doing still here?
