Warnings

But you let me in and
You will regret it
'Cause I'm only looking
For my skewed reflection in you

- Soccer Mommy, Royal Screw Up

Winter's colder, memories smoulder

I'm so sad
At how little joy I realised within my time with my ex guy
Before these statues arrived

 

Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes

on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs 

on this side

 

See me here
Meet me here
I don't care
If it's not repeated

 

I want to know who you are
For every second we outrun the moon and dread the sun come up
I want to know who you are
So I don't have to check my stuff's still here when you're gone
I want to know who you are
I want to know who you were

 

 

 

 

- Ex:Re, Romance

It's been so long

if I could cry in front of a crowd 

and feel comfortable 

I wanna know how it feels

to look someone in the eyes 

as I'm dancing

- Patricia Lalor, Self Aware

Since you been gone

Since you been gone

since you been gone

I'm out of my head

can't take it

 - Rainbow, Since You Been Gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on

yeah yeah
Thanks to you

now I get

I get what I want
Since you been gone

- Kelly Clarkson, Since U Been Gone

Marked

Stains on the mattress

Stains on the memory

- The Cure, Disintegration (misquote)

On sharing existence

He had created his share of our problems, by pushing me too hard, by wanting too much, by trying to see something in me that didn't exist. But I could have met him partway and retained my sovereignty. And now it was too late.

- Jeff Vandermeer, Annihilation

All the colours that you hide

you don't lie to me
and for all of your poison
I enjoy your company 
all the colours that you hide 
behind
your mouth 
like poetry

.....

when I was small

long long before I knew you
I knew how to stand tall
I knew how to breathe without you

and I spoke to the dead 

before I learned how to fear them

they sat with me on my bed 

watched me as I slept and

I felt safe and sound
A leader with my confidence,
I cut the evil down 

with a sword of common sense and
I took care of things 

I loved with all my heart
What happened to these things? 

It's like I woke up in my future

- Haley Bonar, Woke Up In My Future

I adore you

After the run we've had
After the tears we've cried
And all those lonely nights
I still want you in my life
I see you in my mind
And now the sun don't shine
And I'm just getting by
So why can't you be mine?

- Goldie, I Adore You

Haunted, helpless, hopeless

I never will forget those nights
I thought it was a dream
remember how you made me crazy?
remember how I made you scream?

now I don't understand
what happened to our love
but babe I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

- Don Henley, Boys Of Summer
