Because I know



When I say
I love your smile
I really do
Because I've seen people not smile at me.

When I say
You are so nice
You are.
Because I've known people who aren't nice.

When I say
I'm happy
I know I'm happy
Because I've also been sad.

When I say
I love you
I mean it with my whole heart
Because I've had it broken.

When I say
You are my best friend
You are
Because I know what it's like to not have good friends.

When I say
Thanks for listening
It's true
Because I know what it's like not to be heard.

And when I say
Goodbye
I mean it
Because I know it's best.

Feelings

please tell me these feelings will end the nameless ones with no face the terror with no name, the memories hidden in dreams. each day they're getting less losing weight not getting fed by my choice. but still they persist made a habit by past munchings on the tidbits i threw them by accident. as they waste away i make new creations in my head to replace them. ones with no relations who will not check my past feelings to make sure they're ok. new feelings with the stability to stand on their own two feet though young and new. let them die. death to the traitors who took away my life. i will make new ones to rise again a resurrection of the just. --March 27, 2002

Is it enough

today i let go of something that wasn't mine -- your love. you leant it to me for a while but then you took it back again. i tried to play tug of war because i thought it was mine. but you reminded me it was yours all along to give and take as you chose.

We must have cats

Rats & bats, We must have cats... To rise out of the fishbowl And say That's THAT! (But the sad thing is That when you have no fish It means that Somebody ate them.... And no matter how cute The cat will be mute Because he got his own tongue To plead the Fifth On the fish.) So, if you live in a fishbowl like This Cat That is Confining and Small and Lowly You must rise above it And keep your head up, And use up your nine lives Quite Slowly. --February 4, 2002
