relationships

Perfect in their imperfection,

    with plaster they cover the cracks.

"What cracks?"

A smile hides a frown,

    on the outside.

"What angst?"

He works in the city,

    she stays at home, for the children,

    and She works in the city.

"What client?"

She ignores the signs,

    and drives off the cliff.

"What cliff?"

He works late,

    but not at work.

"What woman?"

He weaves a quilt of lies,

    and drapes it over her.

"What time?"

She tells the kids,

    and herself,

    everything is fine.

"What fight?"

Everything is good,

Verse 1:
Behind her laughing smile,
is a broken heart.
A girl who can shed,
no more tears,
cause she's cried for the world,
the moon, the stars,
and the violence,
that never stops

Chorus:
Who says the world,
won't stop for you?

( I hope to put out a podcast with the words on it soon!:)
Do any of you have a suggestion for after you? or a suggestion for change?

Such a happy girl
with the stars in her eyes,
and green, lush mountains for her skin.
a silver lake, a great big moon,
and a clear blue sky,
for her heart.

She has the world,
in the small of her hands,
sheltered from the rain,
and the wind.
But don't be smug,
cause one bad move,
is all it takes
to make her mad.

She met a guy,
the age of 16,
so pretty,
handsome,
and tall.

I thought I wasn’t jealous
I didn’t care
I was invincible
We were friends
But then I saw her all over you
I saw that sort of flirting I could never get
Yet still
I continued to ridicule you
In that way I do

“Do you like him?”
My friend asks
“No, I answer,”
Automatically

But something has changed
And I wish it hadn’t

It seems like I've known you,
for only a day,
But, It seems like I've known you forever.

All the people passing by,
in the hall.
Stream around me
like moses parted the sea.

All of the day,
my mind was on you.

So how can I,
make it through the day?
While you're standing right here,
next to me?
If you knew
that I felt this way
what would your answer be?

I thought it would
take more.
I didn't know it could
be less.
I never realized
that sitting there
spinning quarters and making
rubber band balls with
you
would be enough.

I smile as I fall,
Fall into your icy blue eyes.
But your eyes,
They trouble me,
They confuse me so.
They've been telling me the truth all along,
Which doesn't meet your words.

So what am I to believe?
Your jumble of lies I've mistaken
For the truth which lies just skin deep?

I'm lost,
Ever so lost in thought.
Are you honest with me?
You're not.
Do I trust you?

Let's turn this around,
Take a walk in my shoes.
Let's say I cheated,
Say I lied.
Let's say I was the one,
The one who covered it up.
Let's say you figured it out,
You cried for weeks.
Let's say I was the one,
The one who didn't bother to speak.
Let's say you hurt for months,
And you couldn't take the pain.
Let's say I was the one,
Who didn't bother to explain.

He thought he saw her walking down the sreet
Her headheld high, a challenge to the world.
But when he looked again he couldn't see,
Her figure melting back into te crowd.

Her head held high a challenge to the world
She never did back down when she was wrong.
He'd watch her figure melt inot the crowd
His argument ignored, hers was to strong.
