Knowing

Every part of me knows
This is just how the story goes
This is just how the wind must blow
Every part of me knows

Every inch of me can agree
This is just how we get set free
This is just how we come to be
Every inch of me can agree

Every length of me can understand
This is just the ways of man
This is just the beat played by the band
Every length of me can understand

Every molecule of me is aware
This is just too much to bare
this is just, it is not fair
Every molecule of me is aware

Everybody seems to get it
This is just life, so you can't sweat it
This is just existence, so just forget it
Everybody seems to get it

So fondly goes your mind
And in the melting snow you'll find
The lost and tattered souls of yesteryear
Buried deep in winter's fear
Try to help them you will not
Their time has passed, they're now forgot.

Every part of me knows
This is just how the story goes
This is how the wind must blow
Every part of me knows

But i wish it could be
A different ending for you and me
And all the tattered souls of yesteryear
Who too wanted different endings to be
Different endings for you and me.

This is why I can't be honest.

I want you to get out of my life and stay where you may wander.
Because every time you talk I wonder why you even bother with me.

Just, go away.
Please?

Guaraentee

This weather we are facing is replacing
all the sunshine in your eyes.
In your big brown eyes that I love.
And what has come between us
Intervened us
It will pass
If you let it
It only lasts
If you let it.
This I always guarantee.

So tell me darling, how can I help
If all you do is let our differences collect up on the shelf.
Discovering dust, forgetting us. What has happened here?
Don't you tell me that I've changed and that your feelings have
all rearranged.
That's a lie.
And you know it.
You make me cry.
And you know it.
This I always guarantee.

Lemme make the best of your bad situation
tell me how's this variation
don't give up on us.
Don't throw this loving underneath the bus
don't put my calls on hold
don't you go and act so cold.
This charade that you've been playing?
Damn dear, it is getting old.

So tell me, how you gonna spend your holidays?
Alone sulking in your fictional pain?
Man what a waste
Boy what a bad taste
in your mouth.
Come spend them here with me
Exchanging gifts under the tree.
Oh what a scene.
Babe, what a scene.

That smile is delightful
Positively.
That mind is so insightful
Positively.
This I always guarantee.

Oh I need you.
This I always guarantee
This I always guarantee
Babe, I'll always guarantee
That I love you
and you love me.
Guaranteed.

Owie.

Today I have the most intense, unimaginable headache.
The kind you read about. Legendary isn't the right word
but it's the first word that comes to mind.

It's like a bowling ball running down the lane, a spark from flint.
as Andrew from Garden state would call it,
"it's like a tiny thunderstorm inside my head. And it only last for a split second
and then it's gone"

It first it started to seep into my skull as i sat up to stretch
on the couch. I had been lying there indulging myself in my favoured
country for independent films latest, "He died with a felafel in his hand".
True story. Not the movie, but it's titled. Based on the novel by John Birmingham.
I recommend it, great film. Anyways, I sit up and this sharp shock runs through my
noggin. I think dehydration. Though that's insane, I've had plenty to drink today. Water
especially. Then I think sun, but haven't been out all day. I take an asprin and it escalates.
I lay down, but when i get up again it's worse. I play the guitar but the noise makes my brain
rattle.

So here i am now sitting at the computer, the radiation of the blogger New Post screen
banging in my face like some cheap desperate hooker begging for your dick.
I know that was graphic but at this point I'm not calm enough for any ocean breeze or freshly baked bread comparisons so back off.

Today is one of the days when i sit for ages, i watch films, i listen to music, i have meaningful conversations with myself and i still cannot for the love of the lord in heaven, write anything close to poetry. So i'm changing it up and posting what is assumed to be a traditional blog post. I'm sure everyone reading this is ecstatic but i could give less than a fuck and a shit.

Then i start to let my head wander, which is never good when it hurts this badly. What if it isn't medical. What if my health is fine, better than normal even. Which is a stretch considering i wolfed McDonald's like it was my last meal today at around 1pm. What if it's mental. What if this depression is getting worse, growing faster and faster and i can't keep up. And the only thing my body knows how to do is hurt? What if that's crazier than it sounds at the same time.

A friend once told me the only thing that can fix you, is you. That people, emotions, the idea of love, the commitment we associate with it, with sex, and dates and friends, ultimately gets in the way of the only thing that matters. You. But then that raises a question for all those feeling suicidal, depressed and manic like me. What if you think you don't matter.

Which is crazier than my earlier thesis about pain. I matter, everyone matters to some degree, right? To someone anyways. But the feeling still sits there with all my pain in the back of my mind. What if it turned out, i didn't matter. Then how can i fix things?

I know this is a lot of ideas considering how little i figure i can think right now.

Anyways, something inside, something incredibly simply utterly sad is screaming at me right now "you're depressed and it needs to be fixed."

But how?
