Just/I’m
(Just)Knock me down,
(I’m)So sick of the memories your face holds.
(Just)Blow me over,
(I’m)dead inside from all the pain you still inflict.
(Just)Brush me off,
(I’m)So ready for you to disappear from existence.
You’re just not gone,
Can you please just leave?
I’m so easy to replace,
Yet,
As hard as I try,
You just can’t be imitated.
Duplicated.
Continued.
Substituted.
And I’m confused and lost in a maze.
It’s [...]

But I’ve heard about her,
about you,
about your cheatin ways.
You’re in for a surprise.
I’m contemplating the best way to manipulate
and blow [...]

A cut-off phone call leads me to anger
and to a quick drunken drive home.
But I don’t sleep, I smoke.
Weed, Chronic, Ganja, Pot
and I talk on the phone to a new boy.
But I feel no relief.
I resist temptation to [...]

I sleep better in your arms
than I do wrapped up in blankets in my own bed.
I’d rather pass out, drooling on your pillowcase
than in the comfort of my own home.
Sleeping in until afternoon,
waking up to the sound of your voice,
with your laugh just seconds away,
is a slice of heaven.
But
I’m already old news to you;
Last week’s [...]
