It's that tingling feeling...
the one that starts at your mouth,
trying to lift the corners up
out of the darkness
where they have hidden for so long.
Oh Sweet Vibrations,
you flow along
to the most hidden parts.
In my heart and soul you creep
right down to my toes.
Wonderful sensations
like butterflies in my stomach.
They're the ones that make me love him
They're what I feel
every time I see him.
Girls stand close.
Saying hurtful words
Spreading rumors
telling lies--
never leaving well enough alone
One discloses
Voices lower
Softer, softer, softer.
Whispers
The words still form
The tears flow
a heart breaks
a life ends
The Danger of Life: Gossip
the picture that inspired this ->
People gather round a window.
They're the most unlikely people
but together they grow
up around the steeple.
Some goths, some preps
all together for one reason.
taking little baby steps
to get their moods up for the season;
to worship God.
I'm here
No one can see me,
but I see you.
You walk with her always.
You keep your eyes turned away.
You don't want to see me.
I'm here.
Questioning why.
Why do I stay here,
knowing you'll never need me?
Knowing you'll never leave her?
Knowing you'll never love me?
I'm here.
And now, so are you.
You make me feel
so unchallenged.
Almost like I'm free.
Almost like you love me.
I'm here,
but you've left.
I still see you,
with yet another girl.
And I wonder:
Did you ever love me?
It doesn't matter.
I'm still here.
The light catches and reflects on its way out of the knob.
The yellow tape stretches across the wooden expanse.
The house is filled with vibrant memories.
Outside, the ravaged street cries out to voyagers.
The roads spread across the country;
only stopping where the water washes them away.
Though my heart may stay untold in darkness,
Hold my hand and let me know your feelings.
I know that you can never stay.
Oh, but let us make the most of Cupid's try.
I've grown so used to you.
To seeing you around me.
To hearing your voice.
But you never looked at me.
Your words were never mine.
Now that everything has changed,
why can't everyone let it be?
I know it's hard,
but why be mad?
Why not let it go?
I've sat with you during movies.
Shared popcorn with you.
Shared rides with you.
Shared looks with you.
Shared words with you.
Shared my heart with you.
I've wanted to kill you,
wanted to kiss you.
Wanted to break it off,
wanted to stay with you until forever and a day.
I've been told things,
but I've never told things.
Yoru thoughts are safe with me,
your dreams are safe with me.
We've done all these things,
that we might be together
Now they're starting to see
You're right for me.
They need to let it be.
They're over it now.
And my heart sings.
