    you try so hard
    to fill your holes
    with men
    or pieces
    of men
    to fill the need
    you have
    only part of a whole
    your lingering self
    far from satisfies
    looking inward
    I don't want to know where you are
    don't care
    to share
    my pieces of you
    with someone else
    return the loan
    reluctantly
    and walk away
    dejectedly
    without a backward glance
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    lying in bed
    the gate clicks shut
    and footsteps down the hall
    a light in the kitchen
    leads the way
    for a welcome guest
    who's come to call
    staring at the ceiling
    the shadows in the rain
    focus on the good things
    don't think about the pain
    the moment gone again
    another night alone
    another boy gone wandering
    searching for another hole
    so wrap your dreams up tightly
    hold them to your heart
    lie awake
    and wonder when
    your standards fell apart
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    pictures painted
    with solemn words
    no insincerity
    to be heard
    but your serious face
    and smiling eyes
    are at odds
    though you try
    to sell your story
    so you will know
    just how far
    I will go
    before I laugh
    and shake my head
    in disbelief
    of what you said
    not caring if
    your story's true
    I'm hopelessly
    in love with you
    then you laugh
    and smile at me
    you're everything
    I want to be
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    blue eyes
    pierce soundlessly
    before...
    they dive recklessly
    back into mine
    they linger there
    and I
    hold his stare
    doing the best that I can
    just to remain
    by myself
    in my brain
    but I feel
    him seep in
    and it's too late again
    he's inside me
    once more and
    I can feel it
    before...
    I tear my eyes away
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    vocal chords
    snapped like dry twigs
    ending the nasal entourage
    silencing the ignorant
    blah blah blah
    just shut the fuck up
    won't you?
    just chill the fuck out
    don't you
    wonder what you sound like
    from the outside?
    quit
    talking shit and making noise
    you're driving us all insane
    just stop
    running your mouth
    and banging your gums
    give my ears a break
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    raped emotions
    hang in tatters
    merely mocking
    a gaping wound
    bruised and battered
    pieces shattered
    all that's left
    is a memory
    of what I felt
    with all my heart
    before these feelings
    fell apart
    and were abused
    as none should be
    dismantling
    that part of me
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
