i'm sorry

i'm sorry.
forgive me please.
i'm sorry.
please.
you have to believe me.
the last thing
i wanted to do
was hurt you.
and i know that i did.
and i'm sorry.
know, please,
that i'm sorry.
and it hurts me too.
it hurts me,
this talking
and i just can't stop crying.

because i think that you're hurt.
and i care.
i do.
i genuinely care.
and i don't want to hurt you
by pretending i'm fine
and i don't want to hurt you
more than i have to.
so let's see if we can
just wait 'til we know
that we can make it.

i'm so sorry.
please.
please.
just forgive me.
just please understand
that i did this for a reason.
please understand
that i'm trying to give us a chance.

and please let me not be
just one of your exes.
i'm sorry.
i'm so sorry.
and it is killing me that you are hurt.
and i want it to be okay.
please just believe me.
please understand me.
please.
i'm so sorry.
and please.
please don't hate me.

if.

if time is money
then i'm loaded.
i have all the cash
in the world.

if silence is golden,
i'm shining.
i have gold everywhere
that i turn.

if a picture is worth a thousand words,
then i'm speechless.
i have nothing to say
about anything.

i wrote you a poem

i wrote you a poem here
but i couldn't stand to think
that you might somehow find it.

so i deleted it
and i saved it away
where you will never see it.

i just wanted to tell you that it hurts to talk
and it's hard to look you in the eye
and i want you to know that i wanted to fix it

but i can't.
i'm the problem.

tragedy.

you've confused me
but don't leave me
though i'm writing our tragedy
don't give me
a reason
i just want
decisions
don't break me
believe me
i'm writing the tragedy
i'll lose sight
but you might
not fully understand.

all i need
is for you to not judge me.
i can't finish this tragedy
unless you were
to hurt me
and turn against
everything.
so please don't leave me.
cause i'm writing a tragedy.
it can't end abruptly
i have to suffer completely
i have to stay here
in the dark
and you have to go and live your life.

in first person

i want more than anything
to see that i wasn't wrong

but if you can't hear me
and if you can't understand it
then what else can i do?

Sunday, April 1, 2007

cast aside.

do you think i'm that weak?
that i need to be fixed?
am i broken?
i wish i was accepted by you.
by everyone who matters.
but you need to fix me.
and i don't think i'm broken.

what's so wrong
that i have to change?
why would you try to take me
from everything that i believe?
when i know it is the only thing
i can count on,
why would you try to tear it down?
why do you think you can?

i'm not that weak.
because you changed
doesn't mean i'll bend.
it doesn't mean i'll break.
i am strong.
i can take it.
so take it or leave it.

these are the perks

think with me back into our times
back in the glory days of rock and roll
and the songs didn't always have to rhyme
getting french fries with your mother
made your problems go away
and everything looked like it could be alright


so here's to our days that we fell so low
we faked around, on through
yeah, we'd pretend. we'd act cool
so no one ever had to know

so here's to our nights when we felt so high
but you said all we'd have to do
would be to lie under the sky
so i would lie beneath my skies
and you said that it would make me alright


(chorus) okay, we were nothing, we're nothing
'cause i thought nothing was right
mom's pancakes, sam's milkshakes
my endless mix tape nights
handmade tracks of "one winter"
everyone was so high
night drives of infinity
having the time of your life


and here's to our days when we fell too low
i masqueraded around with you
and nobody ever needs to know
so here's to lone days, so here's to long nights
when our wind tunnel songs
would have changed everybody's lives

(chorus)

think with me ahead to a time
[think to the days when music means to rock the soul]
and the greatest song
is the one that doesn't rhyme
so i wrote it for you
so i wrote you my hear in those lines


[Sam screamed this really fun scream, and there it was. Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. Sam sat down and started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite. ]
