Constalations and Sad Reservations
« on: August 15, 2005, 04:14:43 pm »
I think to myself
That I think too hard
As you sit here with me
And as you push me off
I know it's my fault
But you made me do it
And I just cant stop
Wishing I didnt blow it

Youre like a faint star in the sky
No one could touch you
But theyre trying all the time
And sadly for me
I'm one of "they"
I'm supposed to belong to you
But that's just a stupid game

I fake smiles and lie
To people I know
When then ask casually
How it's been going
Cause the real truth isnt meant to be known
Sympathy's my poison
But youre the antidote

Wake me up when it's December again
And the cold would be welcome
I wouldnt care
Better cold outside
Than cold in my mind
Summer doesnt matter
When you search and can't find

You're so beautiful when you sleep
Dark lashes fall over dark cheeks
I can't help but stare and think
That I wouldnt mind being those sheets
But the closest I'll be
Is a line in a sad song

Go ahead love
Break me again
Do whatever you want
Just please hold my hand
I know it's my fault
But you made me do it
God knows I hate thinking this way
But you're all that I have

You make me bleed
And then warch me scream
But I'll come right back
To take another for the team
Please tell me you love me
And I'll say I'm sorry
For the millionth time
Then back at it again

Tonight I'll stay awake
And count all the stars in the sky
Then wish they could all be for you

Things are going crazy and I'm not sure who to blame...
November 9th 2004...H a r m o n i u m!!!
Spare me just three last words, I love you is all she heard...

That's precious. These two verses remember me to "Put your hands on me":

Tonight I'll stay awake
And count all the stars in the sky

This is a little immature, I'm sorry, I'm just being honest. This stanza

You're so beautiful when you sleep
Dark lashes fall over dark cheeks
I can't help but stare and think
That I wouldnt mind being those sheets
But the closest I'll be
Is a line in a sad song

sounds corny bc you say "I wouldn't mind being those sheets" and that kind of takes away from the soft image being laid out. Also the use of dark as the adjective twice in a row isn't doing it for me. Unless you are trying to elude to some sort of dark being hidden/unreachable/unloved metaphor, you might want to consider using another adjective on one of the descriptions there.

This reads more like prose and I have to say I don't feel like I'm hearing anything new, just the recycled thoughts of anyone in this situation. Specificty would really draw me in on a piece like this, I believe. Generalizations tend to make this become cliche.

I do think it's a nice start and I do like some of your lines. Like in the aforementioned stanza I like the reference to your thoughts being the line of a sad song. :)

Oh and I read this because I wanted to comment that it's not Constallations, but Constellations.
