ABANDONED BUT WISHING...
I think I'm going to cry
If you weren't so sweet
It wouldn't hurt like this
When you treat me like shit
But when you look at me with those puppy-dog eyes
I forget that I was mad at you
And want nothing more that to be your one
That puts the sparkle in those eyes
Nevertheless, it's been ruined again
When she says your name
You jump like a dog with its tail between its legs
(you've done a wrong, talking to me)
Everybody notices, especially me
You used to jump when I said your name
Only it was more like when the owner gets home
And the dog is glad they're back
(^ there's that reference again
| maybe it's a sign,
maybe you are nothing but a dog)
You always seemed happy to see me
Everybody noticed, especially her
I bet you never woulda guessed she does it outta spite
Yeah, she told me that last night
(we never did get along)
You were one of those things that she could take away from me
She used her fantasy thongs and handcuffs she like with sex
I didn't think it would work at first
I thought you would be forever mine
So stupidly I thought you wouldn't leave me
And now, so stupidly I think that those puppy-dog eyes
Actually mean you might come back...
After all, it's not like you want her for more than sex,
Hell! you think she's a freak!
But I don't want you anymore,
Well...I don't want to want you...but...
Your puppy-dog eyes keep coming back to me
And keep me coming back
Even she thinks you like me,
Or she wouldn't have done this to us?...me?...you?
Maybe I should just move on
Your friend said he likes me
But then again, he also said
He didn't want to piss you off...
...Maybe you'll come back around...

WHEN SWALLOWS CHOKE
Sequoias grow limbs
That poke fun at the heavens above
Upsetting the gods...
Causing the destruction of human will
When will I love again,
When weeping willows shed their last tear?
Lightening strikes down
On the effervescence of my heart
When will it mend,
When lightening bolts heal?
Hawks dive down
Aiming for destruction
When will I realize you aren't coming back,
When swallows choke on their own sweet notes?
Who am I trying to fool,
Other than myself?
These things aren't going to happen
With no other choice,
I leave it up to myself

TRIVIAL DIFFERENCES
Trivial differences
Brought to surface by
Questions no one wants the answers to
They're tearing us apart
Ripping our brains
Because what is a soul
If you have no morals
To defend
No principals
To preach
Nothing to keep you
From acting like the rest
Rest of them that you dislike
Defend yourself from
Un-known enimies
Came from a region
Not of our own
Trespassers on a culture
They know nothing of
But who am I talking about
You or me
Or everyone together in
A world of close-minded
Ignorance, that we think
Is so different (the best.)
