for Linzi

She has me sitting on her bed
and she pretends I'm someone else
as her hand slides up my thigh.

And I just want to be
and I just want to be
and I just want to be...

I'd not have anything less than perfect
from you tonight, dear.
Hit the lights.
I'm right here.

I keep waiting for her to gasp
and call his name so that I
may finally know for sure.

She'd not grant me that luxury.
Yeah, I know her
better
than that.

He was your cornerstone
that you used to build your world.
You share a mailbox and a bed and
Hit the lights.
I'm right here.

There's a romantic comedy on the TV.
and I just want to be
and I just want to be
and I just want to be.

The fact of the matter is, I'm not
able to just keep telling myself
that I don't care.
Hit the lights.
She's right there.

The fact of the matter is,
I'm not.

and I just want to be.

Inside the inside of my head
I can hear her heart beat,
begging to be fed.
But I've nothing but all
that I am to give,
and that's not enough
to allow me to live.

and I just
(Hit the lights
be with me
for tonight)
want to be.

    until not to long ago i wouldn’t have loved this the way i love it now. and he did – her name. her name is my name, his name is your name and if it’s the same you’ll never be hurting nor cheating! oh my – oh no. If I could – I’d make you, but it wouldn’t be for me to decide. there’s a shirt, ‘j’ scrawled across the tag - identification - it is not mine nor his nor yours. It’s a repulsive - a fucking t shirt can you imagine? alas, it has touched all the same places on all three. Not one, not two - three perhaps a fourth - how sickening can this game, this life - this foul wretch get? ohhhhhhhh - how horrible. how ironic - and disgusting. Don’t touch, don’t touch, don’t touch!!! Oh, to scream and end it all… I could hurt her in ways in oh so many ways my dear! but i wont. i could never. i just hope - for her sake - she can heed a warning far better than i.

    Excuse me,

    This is Linzi. I would kindly like all of you to know that Zak is the nicest, sweetest person I have ever met. I would never want him to be someone he isn't. This is simply how he feels
    and against my better judgement, it is something I cannot change.

    Zak is the man, He doesn't have to pretend to be anyone else, he's perfect just the way he is.

    I'm hitting the lights now.

    Linzi
