  • So, haven't we all had that song or poem that just speaks to us and fits perfectly to our lifes?  Well, i have.  and it used to be this, but it doesn't do anything for me anymore.  nope, nothing.  Well here it is:

    "1000 Times A Day"
    By Ace Enders of TEN

    So then we got to talking and before we knew it we were always on the phone
    Talking until 4 in the morning
    Yeah, there was only one problem
    Now, I never knew your man, never talked to him
    And still to this day I feel bad for it, but I knew that I loved you
    And I knew that I had to do something

    So I waited till the day that you broke up with him

    Then a while later we got back together
    And we told each other we would be forever
    And since that day we had our share of problems
    And now we know that it’s hard but better together
    Oh, yeah, it’s better together

    Landslides and Liars
    By Stephanie and Chris Claflin
    August 20th, 2006

    There are some things, you just hate to watch
    Like helpless people, under falling rocks
    Or a girl you love, with another guy
    When the guy she loves, is only telling her lies

    Not all disasters are clear as day and night
    Not all lies are merely black and white
    Whether a lie is big or small, it doesn’t matter
    A lie is a lie.

    They started out simply, like most lovers do
    He fed her lines, and kept them all true
    The lines kept on coming, but the truth wasn’t there
    Why couldn’t she see, that he just didn’t care?

    The minutes passed, the days faded away
    Her heart made of glass, would easily break
    From all the pressure of wanting the truth
    Her wants were so pointless, when he hid all the proof

    They finally break up, she’s back in my life
    But things aren’t the same; she’s mad all the time
    She‘s not ready to live, after being so used
    Her heart is still shattered, broken in two

    Her heart finally healed, she found a new guy
    She wiped the dirt off her knees and the tears from her eyes
    Now smarter, and wiser from the things she’d been through
    They’re perfect together, with lives based on truth

    Whether a lie is big or small
    A lie is a lie.

    All's Well That Ends Well
    By Chiodos
    see related
    As you all know, I never get on here, and im sorry.  but I like to put on a poem every now and then, just because its so me.  well yes, heres another one.  i just put it to music, its a slow, piano song.  i like it.

    Cursive and keyboards

    A good poem never starts out wrong
    And I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t help it
    Just like a bad relationship never lasts too long
    Especially when neither of us care to help it

    We died like the victims of a drive-by
    And we cared less than a juvenile in summer school
    And it’s finally starting to show
    Cause I’ve never been one to be taken for a fool

    Like chalk on a side-walk
    On the rainiest day, you’re running away
    As I think back on the moments we shared
    It’s almost as if, we never even cared

    When I feel like giving up
    You greet me with a kiss
    When I realize you’re a fake
    I remember your lips

    Something tells me your lips are wrong
    Something whispers in the back of my mind
    That I’ve been trying for 16 days too long
    Something says you’re a waste of my time

    Maybe something is right this once
    Maybe something is right tonight

    Like snow on the road
    On the sunniest day, we’re melting away
    My mind brings me back to the moments we shared
    Just as I realize you never even cared

    We’re painting pictures with florescent drops
    We’re falling faster than bricks off roof tops
                 And we’re giving up

     Sorry it has been forever.  These are the lyrics to a song a wrote about a month ago.

         Of all the things I hate

    You’re the new thing on my list
    My list of big mistakes
    You’re just another girl
    That’s making my heart ache

    You’re the new thing on my list
    My, my list of big mistakes
    You’re just another girl
    That’s making my heart ache

    It’s just one more thing
    I never should have done
    Cause I don’t want you
    Unless I’m the only one

    But I’m not
    And I could never be

    Of all the things I hate
    I hate liking you most
    You’re just a game show
    And I’m just this weeks host

    There are so many things, I wish I hadn’t done
    (you’re the new thing on my list, my list of big mistakes)

    Why would I want something
    With someone such as you?
    I don’t know, I don’t know
    But I do

    Of all the things I hate
    I hate liking you most
    You’re just a drug addict
    And I’m just this weeks dose

    There are so many things, I wish I hadn’t done
    (There, are, so.  Many, things.  That I wish, I hadn’t done.)

    I regret it all,
    The things we did together
    I hoped we’d never fall
    I hoped we’d last forever

    But we died

    Of all the things I hate
    I hate liking you most
    You can beg me not to leave
    But now I’m just your ghost

    Just your ghost
    Of all the things I hate

    Beneath the Encasing of Ashes
    By As I Lay Dying

     Sorry if I haven't been recommenting.  I don't know if I have even gotten any recent comments.  I'm more of a myspace kinda guy now.  (www.myspace.com/dressed_for_the_occassion)  if you have one, and care, then add me.  But yeah, I sorry if I don't comment back.  I really only use this for poems these days.  You can still read them if you'd like.  Heres one.

            I close my eyes
    Up all night, I try to think of words
    Empty thoughts, followed by nothing
    And endless yawns
    I close my eyes
    And as I fall into never-never land
    I think of your face
    Then I’m off to my resented place

    I see cigarette smoke
    And unforgiving promises
    I’m breathing as you choke
    And I’m laughing as we fall

    What ever happened to
    The things you said you knew
    Why is this happening?
    There’s nothing I can do

    It overtakes me as I see
    Pathetic attempts at becoming great
    Perfectly lined with
    A failure to resent, what I’d love to hate

    I see you, monopoly’s best friend
    I see your face, you’re losing as you win

    Falling deeper into mystical abyss
    I see you together, I watch you kiss
    Honesty’s evil twin, caught in the act
    I need this to end, I wont take you back

    I close my eyes, I don’t wanna see
    And you said we, were meant to be
    Just as I, start to scream
    I wake myself up
    You and I, were just a dream
