NAKED DUET
for me, the cleansing bath is memories, nostalgia rushes over me... it feels so good... it feels so strange... it feels so much, so much... how long have i been this out of touch? (a voice wonders softly) how long have i been this out of touch....
the best thing about being lost, is being found again and getting lost together...
font it's the crazy way I am
tears can raise my smile
for honest feeling pouring out
is the way I want to be
so when I feel my own tears
I know in a little while
the sorrows will be all poured out
and just my peace left in me...
i went a little crazy. actually,
i went a lot crazy. i laid on
the floor of my apartment with
my arms stretched wide, cried
huge tears and gave everything
away.
NAKED
On Brunswick Avenue, just north of College St
in a one room apartment sometime in July of 95
there I sat wearing only the tears fearing defeat
and it almost didn't matter if I was still alive
and she didn't walk by me
she didn't walk out
she saw how much I loved her
and what I was all about
and she came to hold me
that�s when I grew strong
then she broke down and cried
and we wrote this song
whatever happens, there's always love
as long as I'm alive I know that I can rise above
whatever happens, there's always you
and you are everything I believe is true...
>i'd stand in a parking lot in
the deepest part of the night,
my arms raised to the sky, my
hands clenched into fists, then
i'd open them wide, hoping the
pain would fly away and i could
let
it
go.
and the middle was not as beautiful
as we dreamed it would be
the road was rather rocky
it took a lot out of me
and it must have done the same to her
for light grew dim in here eyes
and the winds of change swept us apart
but we never said good byes
we never said good byes
the pain holds me still.
the pain still holds me
and the love still burns
and with no way to share it
I'm ready for an urn
for it's consuming me from inside
it is all I want to be
but it's something that I can't do
unless someone does it with me...
>then i moved to a new place
and once spent 3 days with a
knife pressed to my left wrist,
sawing and sawing and trying to
die.
i'm still alive.
the scar reminds me that i
can't die, so i might as
well live.
i go over and over the things
that happened, trying to make
them come out "right" and just
the other day it dawned on me.
I wandered for a while
searching for a smile
creativity confused
feeling self-abused
a self-pathetic low-crawl
bleeding out my all
into the endless fall
with no one to call
this year words flow more easily
even about the deepest pain
that's how I know I am healing
making it through the rain
the process is succeeding
even through my doubt
cause when I'm feeling blue
i let it out
feeling black and blue
i let it out
feeling crimson red
or a putrid shade of gout
whatever i�m feeling
i let it out
out of the blue...
out of the blue�
out of the blue�
i let it out
it has come out right.
i am in love with the life
i am building by myself.
i am stronger than i've ever been in my life.
i have, again, moments when i am so happy
that i explode with joy
and shower my world
with smiles and laughter
and tears of gratitude.
so beautiful and wonderful
wish everyone could find the key
to this perspective and place inside
and know the way to be
way to be happy
cause it's the greatest feeling ever known
and it requires nothing outside of self
though everything around can become part of it
on the universal shelf
>i still have nights of deepest pain.
i still have moments when the desire
i tamped down rises and i want, oh,
god, i want so bad to find one person
to cling to, to have cling to me, to
love for the rest of my life, to count
on and depend on and laugh with, walk
with, whisper with in the deepest parts
of the night.
me too... the irony is part of me (a part I consider sensible, rational, and safe) sees it as co-dependancy an believes it is unhealthy and dangerous... and another part of me (a part I consider free and potentially all I can be) wants to play with that addictive desire that buys into the "can't live, if living it without you" mind-set and makes the illusion real... consciousness somehow saves me from a life of confusion, as I don't feel caught between the two... I feel comfortable here... but then, I am comfortable with the unknowns of most everything... no doors are completely closed in me, as long as i can dream, so who knows what tomorrow might be like (as long as i can dream :)
i still have days when i think the man
i let into my life could be the one, but then
he'll make some racist slur or will
look at me as if i'm stupid, or will yell
at me and i know i was right to leave him
and live by myself.
I'm alone these days because I'm in a less compromising mood than ever before... mostly because I have to live with so many compromises on a day to day basis as I climb back out of the streets and into a more independant life (thinking of that Mark Wells song, Don't Laugh At Me... it's a perspective that must be lived to be completely understood)... I wish there were no judgmental people in the world, but I'm doing my darndest to keep them out of my life... though this year they are much easier to deal with... healing...
i licked my wounds (licking my wounds)
(till tomorrow) till time could cover them with scabs
and i spend a lot of time some days and nights trying to scrape the dry, dead skin off them, and sometimes i succeed and the pain leaks out and i write and write and write and write and cry a little, cry a lot, howl at the moon, scream at the stars.
I think some wounds will always bleed
and I think I like that because it keeps me feeling
and reminds me I am alive...
and then, maybe it's not bleeding, or if it is,
not in a negative or unhealthy sense...
I bleed into words
when they are released just right (for me)
the feeling is as good as any feeling I know...
only better when shared honestly and openly and completely...
sometimes I write until I nod off...
sometimes the same feelings come out
and inspire me and energize me...
it depends on whether I am feeling sorry for myself
or whether I am healing and trying to express the healing
(which includes experiencing the pain, the cleansing, and so on)...
then i sleep and when i wake i try to
start my life all over again.
i wish you peace
i love you.
i love you too
words are how I rise above life's challenges
and your words inspire me to continue doing that
thank you.
so I reach right through the fear
and I rise above the pain
and I feel a simple peace of being
somewhere beyond this life's games
and I stand secure and proud
to still be all I am
and nothing's gonna change me
from doing the best I can
and it feels so good to share
with someone who understands
so let's just sit here reading
holding this thought... extending hands
*HUGS*
and thanks so much for being you
and for sharing yourself with me :)
(hey, haven't we danced this dance before? ;)
honest love�
"All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown,
the moon rolls thru the nighttime, till the daybreak comes around
All my life's a circle, but I can't tell you why,
the season's spinning round again, the years keep rollin' by"
