Heart On Wings
I sent you my heart on wings
Maybe you didn't get it
Maybe I flew it in the wrong direction
Maybe I forgot to stamp it.
If you opened it you would see
The empty space you've left in me;
That part of my heart
That was so hard to touch-
You stole it from me
And left my sould crushed.

Tell Me Now
4/14/98
Stop with your signs
And your petty clues
Because I can read
All of those moves.
Please no more kisses
Of obligation
I've tried to meet your standards
I'm your God damn creation!
Stop it already
You're breaking my heart
You're opening my flesh
And tearing me apart.
With each rip
You cut a piece of my soul
Reincarnated into a tear
Salty and cold.
Droplets, droplets,
Upon this page
My body is full
Of hurt and rage
Tell me now
It's over, I know
Tell me now
So I can let you go...

Pretend
Flirt with me-
Pretend we're only friends.
Kiss me-
Pretend they're not my lips.
Lie to me-
Pretend I don't know.
Screw a knife through my heart-
Pretend my veins don't bleed.
Torture me-
Pretend I don't feel.
Make me suffer-
So I know you're there.
Drive that knife deeper-
I'll pretend that you care...

Do you remember
When we'd ramble on for hours?
You'd tickle my heart,
Quench my sorrows,
And sew up my past.
You'd throw-up soft words of comfort
Until I'd shrivel,
And give in.
But I would strangle your heart,
And tighten the knots,
Unfolding my true substance.
I am a thread that dangles for attention,
Tantalizing my lover,
And soiling out hearts...
