own the beating of my heart

i'm ashamed of the way your songs and your words

Thursday, April 10, 2008

dogged persistance in the face of certain failure
pushing and pulling and prodding and poking
reaching forever and ever
trying for something
don't even know what
head down, jaw tight
power on through,
except what happens when you can't last that long

i don't want to date you
i don't want to fuck you
i just want a kiss or two tonight
i don't want to love you
i don't want to care
i just want a kiss or two tonight

i'm leaving when i'm done
before the break of dawn
i'm not gonna stay
i don't want to just touch
no breakfast for me
i've got to get home
