Inspired by a fellow Tablo-er; I dug through ancient folders and found lyrics written for songs I wrote in high school.  The person we become sometimes bears little resemblance to the person we were.  However, once in a while, it's good to allow your inner child some freedom, it's good to be the person that you used to be.

As I watch I see you falling for the wrong guy
and I can’t let it go, thought my sides don’t show
Talk with me awhile and let me contemplate
illuminate your shadowed stance
broken hearted dance

And I won’t be the one to see you laying down
all you’ve made yourself to waste.
He’s jealous poison, self love his only reason
I can tell, from his face he don’t care

But I 
don’t want to 
share myself
    this hollow need
dictates.

Rotting roses bearing witless to your
silly acquiesce to the status quo.
Did mommy tell you never give up on a man?
Even if he hurts.  Even if he hurts

And I refuse to lay myself a sacrifice as your way out,
can’t you do this for yourself and not me.
Take a while be on your own, see that you don’t need a man
To hold yourself, to be happy.

But I 
don’t want to 
share myself
    this hollow need
dictates.

I won’t be your stepping stone
A rebound or substitute just phone
when your happy in yourself
In the meantime I’m your friend

when she laughs I’m broken 
all these smiles brittle glass
if she talks I’m walking 
away to recover my mass
    She sings my sorrow
and her words shroud my heart
but wait, we’re alone now
I wait to be shattered apart.

When I’m cold she’s heated
angry with my sky eyes
turning down all advances
she leaves without saying goodbye
    The truth is unbroken
and flies silent wings.
Breathing your lies now
Tear me to pieces and start
