12 Situations Deep breathing makes me high
regardless of what I'm breathing.
Your voice makes me sigh
regardless of your words.

I see you walk by ten times a day-
and I find myself at a loss,
what could I ever say to make you stop
And stay a while?

The world is ending one minute at a time
just like it's been doing forever.
And suddenly, I fail to find
a reason to condemn you for this crime
against everyone who stands alone.

Feet firmly planted,
I wish that I could run away...
And I wonder, why you would stay
in this place so far removed
from from everything you feel

I wish that I could stay away a while
then I wouldn't have to smile -
and try to forget how bad
you always make me feel...

I can't stop this desire
to control everything that I see
and I cant stop the need
to patrol...
looking for truth,
and conviction
in your eyes...
Though I know, this is evidence
I'm never going to find.

I've changed a lot since our first fling
I can't answer as to why,
I don't remember changing a thing
but I guess I did,
because here I am.
Back for more,
an accomplice to your crimes.

I can't mimic that look- what must be
humiliation
on your face,
marring your good looks
and drowning you
in your preoccupation
with everything mundane.

I wish that we could run away -
and I'll never understand
why you always want to stay
in this place, so far removed
from everything you feel-
from everything that's real...

If I could take a breath,
and walk away-
I would never have to explain
the way you make me feel.
