Gossip

Don't bother hiding your faces
When I know your voice like I know my own
And I know what you are saying
So don't pretend that you don't
I set myself up for this
So I'm not looking for sympathy
I just want you to realize
That you can't hide it from me
Why is it that we can't just hurt each other bluntly
That way its all over so fast
Instead its driving the knife and taking time to turn it
While you are running I am laughing at you from behind
It's so pathetic
I just don't get it
Why don't you make it worth your while
Instead of wasting your time
You're just not worth it
Do I deserve this?
You're making it easy for yourself
It drives me up the wall

Honey
Don't you realized that
when you sleep next to your man
I am laid awake at night
crying
I long to kiss you
to hold you
to feel close to you
I miss you
I long for you
when I cry
I long for you to wipe way the tear
to comfort me
Not Knowing
Lindsay, 17
Not knowing what might have been
Makes me think of what could happen.
Not knowing what we could have been
Makes me wonder where we would be.
Now knowing what I didn’t say
Makes me wonder what you tried to.
You don’t know the way I feel around you
You don’t know I cry because you are far away
You don’t know my heart breaks whenever I leave you
You don’t know how I fight with myself because of you
I will go on
I will get my head above the water
I will press on
If something should happen, so be it
I will be ready when you tell me
I won’t be the first.
