Lists lists lists because "It helps to write it down, even if then you cross it out". (name that song).
Lyrics whose words remind me of you. 5 different people. Some who do not read this journal, some who do, some who shouldn't, and some who refuse. Some lyrics are directly to people, and some were just pulled because the entire song reminds me of them.
1. I can't drive straight counting your fake frowns
Focusing in; details a must
Trying to make each one count
2. And time would suspend inside me...no one has to know
3. I'm definitely shaking
The silence isn't breaking
Backwashed and stranded memories
Of something i thought could be
4. I think you caught me on the downslide, downturn
I was busy writing with a pen and paper thin dream
5. I will hold a candle up to you to singe your skin. brace yourself... i'm bent with bitterness.
When your apologies fail to ring true,
(you're) so slick with that sarcastic slew or phrases like 'i thought you knew', while keeping me in hot pursuit.
Tracing the plot finds skin touching skin (abscence follows).
In the end, i win every time as ink remains.
And then a list matching, exactly matching the one above (aka person #1 there is person #1 here). Because I'm high on caffeine.
1. I am pretty sure I know how you're going to die, and it makes me cry all the time.
2. I hope you touch the stars (but I know you're bigger and better than the rocket ship that'll take you there--you're already the satellite blinking in the night)
3. You once told me how far I could go, if only I believed in myself. I shredded a napkin. I tried to walk it off. The intensity of your eyes scared me.
4. "This is fact, not fiction, for the first time in years" could also be another line. I feel perpetually lost here, in this relationship, as if occasionally I see the light and can plunge through the fog towards it and then it dances off into the darkening dusk. I'll keep wandering. Sooner or later, I'll fall into the water and shatter the dream, or I'll find the light.
5. I have trouble letting go. That's why you're still around. Let me know when you feel my bitterness burn.
I would have done ten, but it's like 50 degrees and dropping and I kinda wanna be under my blankets.
