For You

What do you want from me?
I have given you my all
Maybe that isn't enough

You have my heart in your hands
Use it as you please
It's you and only yours
No one can take it from you

What have i done wrong?
Why aren't yoou in my arms?
Where you belong!

Is this what you want?
No, it isn't
You have told me more than once
But, have you changed your mind?

You haven't made it totally clear
What is it that you want?

My Special Friend, The Icecream Man

My friend and I have a special sort of relationship.
Everyday between 1pm and 7 he comes to play with me.
No, not in that way.
You sick freaks.

When I hear his loud child friendly song,
And when I see that big truck,
The one decorted in polk-a-dots,
I get all happy in my pants, and do a little dance.

Everyday I ask my special friend very politely,
'Mr. Icecream man, Sir., may I please have some candy cigarettes and an icecream cone? '
He says to me 'you sure can, sugar! '
I hand him the money and he hands me my treats.

Then we start with are thank you's and goodbyes.
It's quite a bittersweet moment.
Bitter because he has to go,
But sweet because I get to eat my treats.

The Men In White Coats Are Coming To Get Me

I'm cracking at my seems
The men in white coats are coming to get me
Don't let them take me

I'm not medicated
I haven't taken them little yellow pills
In a couple of months

They tell me i'm crazy
Well maybe clinically insane
But who cares
Not me of course

Pain goes shooting through my body.
What are they putting in my veins?

They tell me i'm too stressed out
What do they know?
They're just men
In white coats

I Hate To Do This To You

I hate to do this to you
But you need to know that I can't take the pressure
Of this cold cold world
So please pull my plug

I hate to do this to you
But I don't know what to do
So can you please pull the trigger
I promise It won't hurt me

I hate to do this to you
But I have thought of everything and this
Is the only thing I could thing of
So please dont be sad it wasn't your fault

I hate to do this to you
But it has to happen
So please give me the bottle and unscrew the lid
I'll go peacefully so dont worry

Do You?

Do you feel the tears that fall from my face?
Do you see the trail they leave?
Everyone of them has purpose
And a very good one at that

Do you also lay awake at night crying?
Do you also feel that you have to much stress right now?
Well i do, and i hate it!
Why can't we be together right now?

Do you want to end your life?
Do you want to disappear without a trace?
Cause I do!
And I want you to come with me!

Do you want to be together forever?
Do you want to be happy?
I do and it's only going to be with you!
I have tried to live without you, but I couldn't do it!

Giving Up

I feel like i'm broken
I feel like i'm rotting at my core
I feel like my soul has fled from my body
I feel like i'm useless
I feel like a codependent whore
I feel like I have nothing left to give
I feel like you dont want me anymore
I feel like I have been thrown away
I feel like an abandoned child thrown out on the streets

Why do they have to lie to me
Why do they try to control me
Why do they try to tell me who I am

They don't know me
They don't own me
This shit has got to stop

I feel like I have done something terribly wrong
I feel like no one should have to deal with me

Marriage

Marriage comes when two people love each other unconditional,
And want to become one.
Some people say marriage is only between a man and a women,
That's not true.
If you love someone sp much and you would lay your life down for them,
And be totally committed to them.
That should be enough,
People are afraid to accept that not everyone is like them.
When people hear the topic of same-sex marriage.
They automactically say, 'It's wrong, Marriage is between Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve! '
I bet that if I were to tell them that they can't get married they're straight.
They would start shouting and protesting!
Well what's the difference?
So what if I'm a lesbian?
Why should people be concerned about who I want to marry?
Doesn't that suppose to only concern me?
You might say you don't care that I want to get married to a women.
But deep dpwn your screaming DYKE! ! !
People like you need to be taught a lesson!
You're just a hypocrite, and that's all you'll ever be

On June 1st of That Year

I wish I could take back everything that I have ever said that hurt you
I wish I could have another one of our 'important talks'

But that's not going to happen
Since you didn't make it thought ther night
I just hope you didnt feel much pain,
When you died

I still can remember the call
When I picked up the phone and it was the hospital
And they told me that you was in a bad car crash
And that you had died instanly

I just wish I would have said I love you
And gave you a kiss
Instead of being pissed at you
Over something so childish

The women told me that you was under the influence of drugs
I just sat there and started weeping

Through The Years

Through the years, there will be laughter and smiles
Pain and sorrow too
But i will be going through it with you

Through the years, there will be road trips and vacations
Excitement and adventure
But the only thing making them enjoyable is because i'll be with you

Through the years there will be love and romance
Dinners and movies
But the only thing keeping the flame lit is our undying passion

Through the years there will be weddings and receptions
Futures and joyous memories too
But I won't forget the time when we said 'I DO'

Through the years there will be new life and happiness
Late nights and early mornings
But as long as we're by each others side, we'll be fine

Cat and Mouse Game

As Beau Sia is chasing Bruce Lee,

I am chasing myself.

As these thoughts of who I am,

Are racing through this foggy abyss.

This migraine the fuel to continue,

This cat and mouse game.

Running in the wall just in the nick of time.

The mouse keeps on swatting at the wall.

Hungry for some more.
