This one wasn’t brought to mind by anything besides the fact that I was hunting through my LJ stuff and found it.  Since I’ve been posting poetry here lately, I figured I might as well re-post it.  S’kinda cool.

“Don’t let him lie-
he’s cold like ice
just like everyone else
he’ll put you high up on a
dusty shelf where you’ll
die in a fire with the
house you don’t fit in cause
they say you’re worth something…

but you’re not.

you spin too fast and you
burn too hot.

He’ll make you think it was
you the whole time -
kiss you like wine and then
turn on a dime.  Stupid -
you shoulda listened
the first fourteen times.

He’s your father, your brother, your lover, your best friend -
run for you life, never see him again ’cause
he’s just gonna put you through
what you’ve been through.  So you
stay here with me.  Now…

…would I lie to you?”
