The news around town is that the sky is falling
Burrying everyone surrounded by the baricades
Making us remember those times
We thought for sure was it.
Do you remember that time under the bridge?
When I dared you to leap
And you weazed your way out?
Just like you always did when you thought
The stakes were just too high.
(wasn't that every time?)
You walking away from the table
The cards just dealt
You didn't even peak you just said fold
Sit your ass down!
What's wrong?
What aren't you saying?
(you were never good at lying to me)
You look me in the eye
The devil starring me square in the face.
I knew I was going to get the truth this time
I wouldn't like it this time
I'd hurt this time.
(you wouldn't give a shit this time)
- Tell me to sit down when I see it in your eye
When I know that you're trying to press me to the edge
Make me see what I've been missing, wanting, needing
How do I live when you walked out and didn't look back
Didn't give a fuck if I ran or crawled back -
Hit me where it hurts
Tear at the table clothe
Spill some more wine
You know I'm not gunna get it clean.
Why should I care when you let it go just the same
Gave up on the second word
You couldn't even finish your sentence.
(leave me hanging on waiting for nothing)
So bring up some more meat you want devoured
By the lurking demons
Spiraling every which way from your dispursed lips.
You're not that nice this time
Not so crazy this time
You're not too much this time.
Let me tell you something!
I looked back
Through a pair of binoculars I stole from the CIA.
You know, those x-ray vision ones
Hoping that I could see right through you
But you're stupid wall was dismissing my glances
My search showed me up short everytime.
Tell me,
How do I balance the books when you bounced every cheque
Yea, don't blame it all on me
You with all you're excuses for everything.
After all you're misfit mistakes put you
..right where you belong

This is a very good entry. Thank you for it. My only suggestion would be to check the all caps at the start of each line. If you are using punctuation you should also use proper caps. It's a very well written piece that could be even better with a form. Best of luck...Trina

What's really going on sae? Most of this is kinda singing to me. Maybe I rubbed off on you lol...I think about those time all the time. I really can't go a day without think back to how things were and I always wonder if the people who I experienced these thing with still remember. Good write. -
