New Year's Poems, Part I
I decided to post up here what I feel about everybody, now that the year is up. Yes, I wrote all of these. Yes, some of these are the songs I posted earlier, because I wrote those. In any case, not everyone has a poem about them up here. But every one of the poems put here is about someone I know, and you probably know too. In some cases, poems apply to more than one person, some people have more than one poem for them, and one's about me. Actually, there's all about me, because each one is more like what I feel towards the person; my relationship with them. But one's just about me. And there's a nasty little catch. I'm not telling you who's poem is who's. Maybe, come next New Year's I'll tell. In any case, enjoy them.


Wish It Away
Slipping into a coffeehouse
To wish everything away
Won't think of anyobdy else
Go there to forget the day

And I'm gonna wish away the world
With caffiene and a see-through dream
Wish it all away
'Cause I'm only me
Gonna wish away the world

Is it ok if I'm not someone
Just for a little while?
Is it alright if I pretend
That it's just me right now?

And I'm gonna wish away the world
So there's just me and what I'm thinking
Can't you see I'm only dreaming?
'Cause right now I'm just me
Gonna wish away the world
Wish away the world
Wish it all away


Beautiful
She's so beautiful
She wouldn't believe it if I told her
So I never will

She's so hypocritical
She says she can't be broken
Until she breaks
When you leave her
Then she asks me why

She's so ethereal
She's says that she's no angel
But when she falls apart
She stops and thinks about it
Then decides that she deserves more

I'm so careful around her
Like if she's pushed too hard she'll shatter
She says she's not that fragile
But I say her hide her scars

I don't know how to approach
She's so beautiful


Sweet
Today was such an empty day
What kind of day did you think it would be?
I looked you into the eyes and lied
I'll say I never loved you
I'll say I never tried
Quiet my darling
It's only a sweet lie

Taking sorrow from conversations
Clues you leave me day by day
But you can't give me a reason
To somehow find a way
To speak all of those precious words
I dearly want to say


Instead I say what isn't true
Because you don't want me to try
You have to ask for me to love you
If we are to get by
Quiet my darling
It's only a sweet lie

Can't you see through all of this
You've only known me long enough
A friend is dear
And a friend is true
But a friend is not what I think of you
I'm tired of always slipping by
I cannot convince myself
That it's only a sweet lie


Mutual Masochism
What are ya' gonna do
With that crooked laugh
I know you don't mean
More than half that crap

If I gave you everyting
I can take it away
So you better be careful
About everything you say

I am beauty
I am desire
If you don't want to hurt me
Better feed the fire

If you wanted me
Why didn't you take me?
Was it everything you said
Or was there something more?

Whatever you needed
Guess I couldn't give
Doesn't matter if you're bleeding
The ego still wants more

Don't wanna hurt me
Don't wanna hurt you
Said I was sorry
But you forgot about that too
This mutual masochism
Is killing you

If you don't wanna hurt me
Better feed the fire
Yeah, you better feed the fire


Fragile
I've been to the edge and back
I know what it's like to fall
Don't tell me all the lies you lack
Let's try and find a way somehow

Guess it has to be like this
I'm so pale now
So fragile
Why do we have to tear it down?

I'm feeling everything inside you
I'd let myself drown if I weren't so weak
Can't promise to stay beside you darling
Fading away with each word we speak
Thought that we could make it through this
But there's always someone else
In the end it's only me I miss

Why do we have o tear it down?
I'm so pale now
So fragile
I'm dying whenever you're around


Ok, that's actually all the poems I'm putting in this part. I still need to write the rest. Part II will come soon.
