Streets of Gold

We walk on streets of gold

Our heels clicking on the cobbled sidewalk

Clutching our branded goodies

Picking our way down the road

We think we know where we're headed

We believe our future is just that

But we forget

We were meant for something more

There’s got to be

More then sipping coffee in the morn

Scrambling around to fulfill our overlord's desires

There’s got to be more then that

Fate and destiny

Can’t fight if

You choose differently

You and I, we've bigger things ahead

The sky's the only limit

And we have streetlights

When nights fall

So what are you afraid of?

Drop your baggage and walk with me

music

the music keeps playing

i was wrong

you knew how to whisper sweet nothings

must be some sort of genetic code

like

all boys will know how to
promise empty promises and whisper sweet nothings
in a girl's ear

you lick my ear

and ask me

how did that feel

i can only nod

words can't come out

my mind's a blank

you chuckle at the sounds i make

i feel my face turn red

i know i'm the only one affected here

our bodies pressed up against each other

only i can't get enough of you

you're just on for the fun

hips grinding

teeth knocking

you see the stars before i do

sometimes

i don't at all

but you just smirk and say good, wasn't it?

you get up

and pull up your pants

tugging at the waistbands

i just lie there

wondering why i put myself through it

got to be cause i'm in love with you

i tell you that

and you laugh

you know what we got is nothing, right?

you go back to her

and i to him

we have nothing in common anyway

and the music keeps playing

Something Old, Something New

i would very much like

to be proposed with

a lily-cut diamond

thus, fulfilling "something old"

i don't wish to

have a dinner in a stuff old restaurant

where we scream "ganbei" at the top of our lungs

completing the statement with "something new"

and i take you, to be mine,
in good times, and in bad,
in sickness, and health,
for as long as i shall live

and i believe it will end as so.

Never Ending II

We always fought, mainly, me picking on you. Finding faults when there were none. I suppose I was pushing my luck, testing how far I could go. I suppose I was trying to see how much of bullshit you could take before you said “Enough!” and walk out of my life. I guess I didn’t think I deserved anything good happen to me. But you never gave up. Every time I pushed you away, you’d come back, saying you’re sorry when I should be the one to apologize. You took in everything I threw at you and kept coming back.

Never Ending I

I remember falling in love with you. I remember your lips, your black mysterious eyes, and your hair that could never stay down. Your hands were rough from gripping those steel bars. Your voice that was husky, yet not low. I remember how you hugged me so tightly, as I cried my heart out. You never said anything to comfort me. You just held me as I cried. I remember your crooked smile and your perfect, straight teeth. I remember how you never promised me the world. You brought it to me, without me asking. I remember everything about you.

Mind-Fucking

When do you know it's time to stop

Where exactly should you say enough

Time keeps going - it doesn't stop for you to make a decision

Yes or no makes a world of difference

I feel like curling up under the covers

Hiding away from the world

Ignoring everything

And everything ignoring me

But that is just not possible is it?

I’m having a migraine

Just thinking about us

Funny how all the good things gets wiped out

Just cause of one bad thing

But

How do you define a bad thing in the first place?

Especially if the said deed is within those obscure grey places?

Right now

I’d give anything to see into the future

Then maybe I’d know what to do

Or maybe not

Apt title don't you think?

If you can understand what I’m rambling about.

Under the Disco Ball

The music was pounding 

My heart beat along with it 

The bodies grinding 

Hands feeling, stench of sweat high in the air 

 You were dead drunk 

Face red, speech blurred 

You were dead drunk 

I tried to tell myself that, couldn’t survive if I didn’t 

 I watched that girl 

She held onto you 

I watched you 

You remembered nothing of empty promises 

 She sees me staring 

Smirks - knowing, understanding 

She wasn’t me 

And I, was nothing she’d ever want to be 

 You look up 

Smile at me 

You called out to me 

I turned away – refusing to be made a fool of 

 I walk, hurried, ran 

Out, need to get out 

Pushed against the sweaty bodies 

I couldn’t breathe – felt like drowning, perhaps I was dying 

 She leaves 

No fun now, no play 

She turns away 

Leaving you to clean up with chocolates, roses, empty promises 

 You arrive 

Wine, teddy bear, diamonds 

I open the doors again 

Believing the lies you tell me – wouldn’t live if I didn’t 

 Tonight 

The music will pound again
