with minor edits from some late night, stream of consciousness writing
After 12 Midnight
babies they are are born
on the cusp of the stars
true loves break hearts
as we get closer to Mars
two friends who said forever
they now no longer speak
Nouvelle Vague's lead singer
makes my knees go weak
the 15 minutes tick
and this time I can hear
there was always a danger
in having that time bomb near
Angelique is singing
"Summertime" in Portuguese
which might even be French
and the last thing I'm thinkin'
is of pickin' up a wrench
I was only told today
that I only see the worst
I thought gee, that's funny
because she's only making it worse
but it's easy to lose reason
when she's feeding of the sex
I'm sure one day she'll say sorry
she'll apologise to her ex
you see there's nothing we can do
both too weak for each other
but don't try telling her that
she'll just tell you not to bother
she'll probably scream and rant
and accuse you of accusing
while payin' as much as a scant
that herself she is abusing
yes there really is no ration
nor any rationality
still; you never know
maybe one day she'll surprise me
she needs to leave the perfect though
even if she thinks she never will
ah the days when those raindrops
thundered on our window sill
so leaving her for now
because I think she's had enough attention
I'm sure there are some other things
that in my heart are holding tension
ah yes, that's it; loneliness
hmmm... it's always creepin' in
trying to devour me
making it's way under my skin
is it true that I can't survive
as a solo human being
I mean after all I'm still alive
and I've friends of which I'm seeing
yeah, I'm sure I'll be okay
at least until I die
and when I'm dead and gone
it would be nice if you didn't cry
you see I've done enough of that
for you and a whole lot more
and now my thoughts go back to that girl again
it was a point of which she was sore
she looked at me with scorn
said she couldn't stand the sight of it
shame she couldn't see it was her ex
from where was borne all this shit
yes I asked her not to see me
as a person from her past
I guess she wasn't listening
because this thought it did not last
and the deception she said I caused
through lack of family
well I never did pretend
it was just what she chose to see
