in the dark, you commit

and I can't believe
that in that 2
minutes of living
in darkness
I would have
ever thought
you would be
that light.

I just thought
I'd inform you
that I've finally
committed to
a cereal -- I think

You see,
as of the moment,
I'm addicted to
life, I can't get
enough of it.
but lately life
hasn't been tasting
so sweet...
and I'm chalking
it up to the habit
of eating pieces
of shit like you
for breakfast

cherry, cherry, grape

he asks me
to come in
(unfortunately,
i'm too far
gone...) and i lose myself

if we weren't
unlucky at love,
there would
be other sorts
of unlucky...
i promise

craps isn't a
gamble...
it's a way of life

the workout of the forgotten

so i extract
my heart
and scribble
it out
page by page [endless]
in hopes
that these
feelings
will follow [endlessly]

trust me when i say i'm not the only one

these pages
will be the
only reminder
to jog
my memory
when it hasn't
excercised
in a while

trust me when i say i'm not the only one

my sad attempt at a mad rhyme

i don't mean
to be trite
'cause that's not
like me
petty is for betty's
with nothing better
to do
but you deserve
a medal for
your scandals
a big gold dish
in the form
of syphillus
that can remind
you everyday
of what you
threw away
cause you are
crowned the king
of all unflattering
and have lost
all your prospect
because of
your disrespect

then i don't think this is love

and if you didn't
shred me
to pieces...
i'd respect you less in
the morning

my eyes would contain
the boring glare
and running away would
take too long

[so i'd take a train]
[find new pain]

slip quietly out
while you cry
yourself to sleep
I never wanted it
this way

there had to be
an inbetween
we just missed the
beginning to this
end...
