Encore

I pour my feelings out to the keys
your velvet lips caught my eye again
maybe I won't ever get past it
Got a thousand words in a flurry
and a moment lost in a blur
It's funny how it all works out
would you ever feel the same?
I'm a heartwreck after another
It's all in vain
I live to hear you say
that you love me and things will
be back to their old ways
but sometimes that's not enough
(when have we ever been enough?)
and all I got left is your lull
Project Mayhem on the runways
and a heart like the sun
I don't want to be a secondhand lover
when I was your first time flame
i want to lift you up like in dirty dancing
give me a moment
i'm moving back all i was advancing
soon it's all pain, and moreover
it's all crimson and clover
so now all that's left to do;
tell Baby when it's over
cause nobody puts Baby in a corner

(i still remember trying to rise you up.)

  1. This reminds me of a state of mind I was in for a while a year or so ago, just put down in better words than I could ever find.

    I love your writing, it reminds me of far off places where people think like I do.

    I've spent countless late nights with this thinking, and I never thought someone could describe it and here you are, writing it perfectly.

  2. Cause nobody puts baby in a corner. You wrote this for me. You know you did.

  3. Ali, I really wish I had something complementary to say to you, but the only words that can really come to mind are "thank you." Knowing you read and appreciate my words means more than I can really describe.

    and Jac, I'm not sure you want to be the person I wrote this for. memories are more bitter than they are sweet.

  4. Then you'll write something else for me later on. You know me better than you think.
