Something to Say

This Year’s Past Mistake

Is this too hard for you to discover
I can’t be
Yesterday’s news
A castaway lover
That you brag about
To all your friends

Go ahead
Tell all your friends
Pass my number back and forth
I know you’ll be the subject of conversation
Amongst my friends
Because it doesn’t hurt to brag
Or to be selfish
I want to bask in the glory
Of taking you to bed with me

Don’t you wish to let the ties bind
Sorry, my love is anything but color-blind
My eyes do strain
To glance at you from so faraway

And next summer
I’ll see you
And you’ll see me
Do we avoid
Will it be strange
Do we pay attention
Play pretend
Or pull the trigger

You said you’d kill me
If I desert you ever again

You said you had so much love to give
So I write this plea on an empty page
And wish it to be my last disgrace

It all seems so surreal
You,
Here with me
I can touch your quivering lips
Gently
With my fingertips
What’s the price
I’ll pay
Anything
I’ll even listen to ever word
That finds its way to the tip of your bitter tongue
If it means
We can do this all over again

I’ve fallen prey
I guess it’s safe to say
To you
And this beautiful sin
We find ourselves wrapped up in
When you say, “Yes”
My body can’t say “No”

Underneath the moon’s light
You dance with me
So seductively
So pretty and petite
You could break in my hands
So fragile
So weak

I’d serve you on a silver platter
If it’s pleasure you desire
I’ll light the fire
If you provide the matches

Oh, your delicate nectar
Sweet like a flower
Ready for pollination
Let me smell you
Take you in

This is hard
This is sweet
Whenever we do meet
I lose all sense of time
When you enrapture me
Capture me
Take me, I’ll buy the bride

Loss of feeling
Pain is love
Truth is beauty
Deception is real
You are not me
I am not you

No matter what the consequences of my actions bring
I’ll take the minor infraction as it shall be
If it means the night with you
Better spent on both our knees

“Can I see you again?”

“In due time, darling.”

Until that fateful day
When I don’t have to watch you walk away
Keep your eyes sparkling
Keep your ears to the ground
To hear our train a-coming
If for nothing else
But the memory of you
And me
Inside you
Taking you as my new bride
With such precision
With such pride

Oh no, it was all a lie

Two Great Films, and more to Pass the Time

"We Need to Talk About Kevin" starring: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller, Jasper Newell, Rocky Duer, Ashley Gerasimovich, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Alex Manette, James Chen written and directed by: Lynne Ramsay Remember when The Who sang "The Kids are Alright"? Yea, this film proves that is not the case as it attempts to define nature versus nurture versus just plain evil (and are you simply born that way). This is a modern American (almost strictly American, by the way) horror story. One all too real in the wake of Columbine and all subsequent mass killings (at schools, specifically) since that awful day. We always struggle to understand why things like that happen and how they got this way, what drives someone to murder. This is the story of a boy-turned-teenager through the eyes of his mother, and her struggle with raising him and then answering for his crime. Swinton, as Eva, is flat-out amazing. Since much of the film unfolds in flashback wit...

Pineapple Express + 1

This has probably been one of the most relaxing school vacations in awhile. It helps that the weather has changed and its actually decent now. Looking back, Maine had a very long, depressing, all-I-want-to-do-is-stay-inside-until-the-snow-disappear kind of winters. It was blistering cold. It snowed a significant amount. It was dark more than it was light. It was depressing. Seasonal Affected Disorder, perhaps. I mean, I went out as much as I wanted to, but the cold tended to keep me in. Christmas vacation- nothing much happened, except I got this brilliant idea for my blog and started the project of watching 365 films in one year. February break came next. Again, nothing much. It was still cold and I'm not a skier or a snowboarder. I did play in a pond hockey tournament. That was fun. But, now we've come to April and it's finally spring in Maine. This week's weather makes braving all those cold days and nights during the winter worth it. I think the winters that we ha...

Films 64 & 65 (Fish Tank)

First off, I have to say, I think the band Taking Back Sunday has been completely ruined for me. And I know what a lot of people are thinking...really, aren't you like 8-9 years behind everyone else? It's true the original bands album "Tell All Your Friends" was seminal in putting the genre now known as EMO on the map. It was approximately 30 minutes of pure, unadulterated "heart-on-my-sleeve" and "I'm pissed at how you treated me so I wrote song about it" songs. Adam Lazzara is well known for writing songs is a form of back-stabbing or talking behind someone's back who has slighted him. I used to really love them. I would crank their music to Eleven! I never thought of it as EMO music, I just thought they were writing songs that I could connect my experiences to. It was like they were writing relatable songs. They knew my heartache and pain. And they wrote it for me! I still remember seeing the video for "Cute Without the E" on M...
