Icarus

I want to hate you

I want to hate you
I want to blame you
For all the pain
In my heart
 
I want to hate you
I want to remind you
I warned you
it would end bad
at every turn
 
I want to hate you
I want to believe
it was just a silly game

Secrets and lies
always end
 
I want to hate you
Because I wasn’t worth fighting for
To you
 
But for some reason
I can’t stop
Giving you the benefit of the doubt

The way to a man's heart is...

The way to a man’s heart Is through his stomach Or so the saying goes But things are seldom So simple as that

Still holding (though I want to let go)

Hope is so elusive It just won’t come near Hopelessness and foolishness Grasping to things that just aren’… I can’t seem to find freedom
Men who go home to wives who don't care

The million incandescent bulbs that line Gibbs St from Barrett Place to Main go out just after midnight. Stragg… smokers sit or stand in the alley
