for me

for me
loving you has meant it is always raining
not that i am complaining
what is the big deal about getting wet anyways
unless maybe it is on days likes these
where circumstances has gotten me to my knees
and i think that maybe this should be easier
and maybe if you would just be here
and tell me it is going to be okay
and tell me to say what i have been wanting to say
because it will not scare you away

for me
loving you has meant you are always reigning
and i am just your future in training

It feels like it has rained here everyday this summer.  I bought some carrot cake oreos and decided I would save them for a rainy day.  I finished the last one today.  Peace out.

hope

hope is the sharp edge I keep cutting my finger on
it's the song that I play over and over
thinking that it might end differently
that the part after the bridge will change
hope is the thing that messes with my brain
thinking it's romantic to walk in the rain
swinging on planks suspended by chains
and I think maybe 
just maybe I should try again
and again

I was thinking of this piece as I walked to work today. I was thinking about the idea of a hopeless romantic.  Lots of people are romantics and unfortunately more than a few people are hopeless but what makes one a hopeless romantic? I guess I'm proposing it's the inability to learn and the ability to heal just enough for the next cut. Peace out.
