on_my_own
andrea i fooled myself
2 years ago
into believing
that i had burst
out
of my cocoon
& spread my wings
so they could
shimmer in the
sun &
gleam under the
moonlight
as i made my dreams
my own
& my destiny a question
i had to answer
but now, i find myself
once again
stuck
wrapped tight
smothered
to a point
& so i have to
struggle
again
for a rebirth
of myself & my
freedom
until i am
once more
on my
own

lost wow. That pretty much sums up my life so far. 010425

josie a song rewinds and repeats in my head, the backing starved for words to be admitted to. And i don't know why. Maybe some adolescent plea for attention, maybe some desperate journey into my emotional warehouse to find what will playback nicely. i've never seen the musical, i'll never feel the reality. 020510

broken cherry I always said I was never any good when left on my own.
My head can't handle itself.
I can't fight off the pain when I'm alone.
Maybe haveing someone constantly by my side was good, in part.

The pavements don't shine like silver for me.

blown cherry without him I feel his arms around me
and when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me

josie but in the rain, (i have photos to prove it) they always shine like silver.. 020814

blown cherry but who am I kidding?
I'm not really on my own,
I guess sometimes my mind just drags it's feet a little,
but you're always there to catch me if I ever feel as though I'm about to slip off the kerb.

fucked once too often think about it
really think about
what every line
every word
every syllable resounding in my body
would have meant to me
every day
every hour
for the best part of a year

my body defensless to the music
my emotions at war with my mind for control of the lyrics

old habits die hard
old associations not easliy put to rest

p2 And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near, and I can make
Believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him and then I'm happy with the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me.
All alone I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me.
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever.
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us.
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of stangers.
I love him
But everyday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness that I have
Never known.
I love him, I love him.

shower singer i'm just shit my myself.

Being single is fine, i'm used to that. It's just being alone at home, I can't handle it. I get restless and nervous and fidgety and paranoid. And then i start getting that desperate edge to my voice.

I start chewing on my own brain.
