Tacky Little 4 x 4

[souldeath]

A little rhymy thing I was writing at some point. Easily over 4 years ago.
Was supposed to be sung out to Alanis's You Oughtta Know - till a more suitable tune is found.

All you musician types are asked to contribute etc.

We shall figure out a chorus.

"Epiphany 4 x 4"

Since ever I’ve been scrawling your name on this stretcher
All these lights are flashing
All this time is passing
And I wonder if I should be feeling better.

Been weeks since someone thought to get me out of this
Was it just in my eyes
A certain lack of surprise
Did you believe I was lost in some other kind of bliss?

Been years since someone saw enough to see me cry…
How do I make me happy?
Teardrops in an IV
How much does it take to take me real high?

How long has it been since I saw you last?
Your legs in that skirt
Your legs in my shirt
I want to lose the now and fuck the past.

The notches always faded early from my bed post:
Could I love you as her?
Who were all the others?
I’m letting go of all that had once mattered most.

Does not make the most sense but seems workable.
