Wow Owls! Saccharine For My Sweetie
weve been tarnished by the weigh of the world and its
rubbing up against us. and yeah, i do. i do to you, too.
you said you knew what you wanted. well i thought i did
too. i used to put life out of me. with every flashbulb
spark, a piece of me flakes and falls to the floor. could
you forget me? could you regret me? say youll miss me
because i want to believe that you will miss me. this
beds too cold without you here and i need you near. this
house is not a home. is there somebody else? will these
be our better years culminating in graying hair and lost
teeth we cant kiss from 600 miles away. because when our
child starts crying, i just cant help it. i have to join
in. and whats in it for all of us, two satin-lined
caskets so we can share a plot together? id rather hold
you here in my arms now to feel the two beating pulses
from sickened hearts. this pain, this beat, this
frustration will fade and wash away letting us pretend we
never experienced them. this beat will fade. just like a
memory.
