i do not want commitment right now…
i thought right now means for a while
so i was surprised to see her the next week
with someone else, flashing that smile

i leave messages
but you never return them
a game of blush and bluff
is really too much

today was not so bad
it got up early
put on its makeup and looked less sad
it broke for lunch at one
today was formal, yet it felt young

i know the value of you
what can be, will be saved
what cannot,
will only mean the future cannot be delayed

drugs and alcohol
i have seen you abuse them all
people and soul
i have seen you take them all
drugs and feelings
i have seen you mix them all

speak to me now
if you glance,
is more than idle chance
i need to know if it is going to be fun
or if we are doing a slow dance

ashes of memories
in pots or urns
flowers in vases
for when memories have burnt
