Cheese

I found a bunch of cheesy poetry while unpacking this evening for your reading pleasure.

Sacrifice

It's too frightening to step back
into the phonebooth
with a tornado blowing around inside of it
I can't even hope to grasp a piece of the debris.
Even though you love me now
Even though,
I'm so afraid of you.

Everything I love lying bleeding around my feet
How did I end up holding the smoking gun?

I had something so fine for you
Something strong
Something brittle
You stomped my lovely gift into pieces
With your big boots
(I think you didn't even notice)
When I saw what you'd done
I took a sledgehammer to it all
And I smashed it to powder
Everyone came to eat popcorn and watch
And I was holding the hammer

They raised an eyebrow

And crucified me

And no one cared
And no one saved me

They all spat on me
And said I did it to myself
Even you
And they were right
Although not in the way they thought
I did it to myself long long ago
No matter
I put on the crown of thorns they made for me
And hung my head

I thought I had your heart and soul
I gladly gave you mine
But now I see, it's not just me
Who else is on your mind?

You say that ship sailed long ago
Her heart just wasn't in it
But though you never got together
You'd have said yes in a minute

You don't tell her, you won't tell me
You sneak while I can't sleep
I read your eyes all full of lies
And promises you can't keep

I know the truth, but love you so
That I just play along
Even though, if she said "go"
I know you'd be long gone

Today I saw her through your eyes
The truth now plain as day.
And here's the thing: I am first string
But only cause she won't play

Who's Counting?

It's been such a long lonely time
Since you put your arm around me
Since you pressed your lips to mine
Like you did when you first found me
It's been even longer still
Since you told me that you loved me
I wonder if I ever will
Hear the words, "Baby you're so lovely."

I'm not saying that you
Haven't been true
I know you haven't put anyone before me
But there's more to the deal
You answered "I will"
When they asked if you'd always adore me.

But who's counting
The days I give, but I don't get love?
I just stand here all amazed
Cause it seems that you can just forget love.
But as it gets longer and longer,
The longing gets stronger and stronger
For the days when you had eyes for only me
Who's counting?
Lonely me.

Cycle

He wasn't there
She discounted the good in me
Black void where I know something goes!
I curiously watch those who have it.
That foreign thing.
Head cocked to the side. Confused.
Trying to absorb the culture by osmosis,
or at least learn the language.
I play it again and again
Even though it's painful.
Your icy glaze overlooks me.
You and your fucking walls
That no amount of pleading touches
Or hot tears melt.
You only do the right thing if it's someone else
Anyone else.
To let me know I'm at the bottom of the list.
Yeah, I got the memo.
Do you find yourself here?
It's because you've injured me.

It's Funny Because It's True 015

M: You can't expect me to read minds.
Heidi: Can't I expect you to put two and two together?
M: No! I'm a boy and I'm retarded when it comes to emotions.
