Confused 05:46
So soft and smooth We slept in my room And the sunlight shined Upon our eyes Your lips on mine You left me stunned I thought we’d always be I thought that you also loved me I rushed our love I ran my fingers through red hair Every single night, when we laid there I loved being with you every time Except when we walked away, both crying Just after the goodbye Was when I realized That I have lost my mind In such laconic time Ego and Vanity Received the best of me Incredibly confused Can’t help but still love you Your french braided hair your cat scratched knees

Anxiety 03:55
They have a lot of cold beer, I guess I’ll throw some back. I can’t wait too long, I need to do some wrong. Because you know how I get, Drunk with a guitar. Before the night is through, I need some time with you. I feel tired & unclean. After nights like these. I have doubt and anxiety When I try to believe in me Now three sheets to the wind, And where the hell have you been? I’ve been talking to your dumb friends, And I’ve reached wits end. Don’t say you’re sorry, I have a hard time believing you. But go ahead and try me, I’m still praying that there’s hope for me. ‘Cause I’ve learned, to just let those things be, When they fall apart for me. And I’ve learned, that all these things just end. They just break, and they don’t bend. I feel tired & unclean. After nights like these. I have doubt and anxiety When I try to believe Now I’m home, but I’m no longer here Solitude, I’ve grown fear.

Love Story 02:55
They say that if you slow down your breathing, time slows down So I want to choke you out so you are always around Did I ever tell you that you had left me tongue tied It was right after the time you told me that this is goodbye Don’t leave me here. with no understandings I still call before my take offs and after landings Your love, it seemed so real, but apparently it was fake I tried to grasp it tight, didn’t know that it would break Everyone out here is so damn boring But you were something else, like out of a love story On New Years you told me you like the taste of Whiskey Peat We had drinks downtown with your dad on Grand and 7th Street. Now I’m drunk off whiskey and malt liquor, everything’s going black I don’t want to die like our love, just like Kerouac. I look back now and see it was just all pretend but I don’t care I just really want to see you again May we jump start our love and keep it working So you will never leave here for Albuquerque

C Arthur 02:57
I saw your smiling face on my cell phone, my heavy heart sank just like a stone Now I want to go home Maybe I’m just getting old My loves gone cold This year I’ve really grown I learned things, that I’ve never known. From being on my own. Lately when I sleep alone I feel you. I feel your skin. I know. Baby, I’ve come to terms I failed you I’ve come to terms that you, don’t want me back.

Balcony 02:28
6.
Those cats on your bed Are your favorite things about your life, that you had said. But you said I was too, But I still haven’t heard from you. Your red wine slur your memoir class stories your work day summaries Are things I won’t hear again Those Les Mis Songs Stuck in your head Like there was nothing wrong You know it wasn’t true Something had bothered you. It’s not easier Me being here without you You don’t love me this way I can tell by those words you don’t say When you had left, searching for something, It’s because you lost something when you gave your heart to me. Your small red car I still see sometimes, just when it’s parked and when I drive by it kills me on the inside So blissfully you seemed in your soliloquy Those things I tried to bring People never notice anything When you left, searching for something, It’s because you lost something when you gave your heart to me. Don’t feel ashamed Your feelings had just changed I don’t forgive you, well not yet because, I can’t let go. I’m going to hold on to hope that you come back to me

The City 04:56
you smoked yourself stupid again you were diagnosed with schizophrenia and you lost your way and lost your shoes and you lost your way the devil made his way to your heart when you felt that low he told you to go for a ride so you got in his car and drove off you loved god so much that you didn’t know how to live a life in the city of angels you surrounded yourself with demons so you smoked yourself silly again and were convicted of being a felon you robbed yourself of security, druggie. now there is no more hope for you, junkie. please know that I’m sorry how do you live with yourself knowing that everyone around you doesn’t like you anymore? and I don’t blame them. you may go get high and I won’t tell them

Fretful 04:55
You left me, so casually Over coffee, on Friday morning I walked across Sunset Blvd. To my car I conjectured who you are. and also who I am, I’m not the same man. that I promised to be, and that I’m in sympathy. Maybe I’m just sleepy I never finished that coffee. I’m staying up all night thinking, and I need caffeine eventually. Our time is over It is now time to sleep, you showed me love, so thank you very much. Were you bending the truth, for better suiting you? Showing pains unseen, the morning of halloween. Were you fretful to walk into the room? To bare bad news, which I could not presume. Maybe I’m just sleepy From all of this over sleeping. I keep dreaming this same old nightmare. That I’ll run into you everywhere.
9.
Laura 04:44
Laura, find your way back in here Your face that, floats down with misty fear Those eyes, how familiar they seem Laura, now you are just a dream I swear I, went back for you Laura, the only kiss to you That was you, honest and true Softly, down the hall you sing You’ll always, sing in our sweetest dreams I swear I, went back for you It's so funny how life changes so drastically.

I guess, I guess this is loneliness. For six months, I considered death. and my friends didn’t even call. But I tried, my best, I tried in vain. I found, found out you cheated me. You squeezed my hand, asked me to stay. But I ran, I ran behind my house. But I still, love you so much still anyway. My life is now haunted with ghosts that look like you. Due to love that you withdrew. What a mess, a mess that we’ve made of us. I ever, ever thought we would last. But now, now you’re just a photo frame. A photo that, that always will bring dark pain. My life is now haunted with ghosts that look like you. Because the love that you withdrew. Why can’t, why can’t I escape From red and Silver Lake, and be okay for heavens sake? Why did you go, with those other people? It’s been so long, since the day I drank champagne. You said, you said, you said that you loved me. As it turns out, you just wanted to be free. You were heaven to me, my Bovarie, but go and be free. You are lovable, you’re wonderful, you’re colorful, you’re beautiful.
