when you say you love me
it makes me wonder why.
why you're gonna leave me ...
if you're gonna die.
the things i take for granted,
the words i never say.
i've always had a feeling,
would just get in the way.
in my days of sex and drugs,
and daily drinking beer.
words were just a hustle,
and rarely were sincere.
today the words i say are true
but now they seem to stick.
caught between reality
and years of being slick.
so if you're gonna leave me ...
if you're gonna die.
i know how much you love me,
please just say goodbye.

it's peaceful here
in the killing fields of yesteryear.
all quiet
with rolling hills
and beautiful trees.
the wooden crosses
that once peppered the ladscape
have been replaced with a granet monument
that somehow doesn't seem to fit-in
at this sacred place.
i like it when it's quiet here
and i can feel the souls of the dead
in the breeze.
others come here for war games, or as they call them ...
re-enactments.
i suppose that's how they pay thier respects,
but that's not for me ... no
beer and bivwack on the bones of the dead
is not my way.
but it's not up to me to make the rules of respect.
it's only up to me to show my respect ... quietly ...
as the breeze fills my lungs and soul.

when we are together
it's hard to say goodbye.
when thinking of you by myself
i often wonder why.
why i will not say the words
that you don't want to hear.
why i will not tell you
the end is very near.
weakness makes it easy
to never say goodbye.
weakness is the feeling that i feel
when i don't even try.

if every bit of sunshine
was squeezed from every day
and darkness spread accross the land
while oceans ceased to spray
if laughter lived in memories
but never for today
and salty tears of loneliness
it seemed were here to stay
if i thought you lied to me
would i still obey
or would i pull the plug on us
and send you on your way
if only i could love myself
even for a day
maybe i'ld believe you
and hope that you would stay

i like the movies
the popcorn and candy
always taste better
at the movies
my friend and i were playing last week
whilst on our way to the movies
she coughed at an un-oppertune moment
and we laughed ... and thought nothing of it
we cut through macys at the mall
and as we were riding the escallator
i noticed something on her cap
i smiled and asked her if she's ever seen "something about mary"
as i said it, i was pointing at her hat and smiling
she smiled back and said yes and we got off the escallator
we stopped in the AT&T store and she tugged my coat
she didn't understand why people were staring
i put my hand to a corrasponding point on my head
and told her she really needed to find a mirror
she reached up and touched it
then took off accross the food court at warp speed
as i turned back to the store staff
they all had big grins on thier faces
i smiled back then paid my phone bill
and left to find my friend
she was coming towards me
from the other side of the mall
pointing her finger at me
saying she was gonna kill me
we met in the middle
i grabbed her in a big bear hug
and she reached around and hit my back a few times
playfully
she's so fuckin cool ... a little slow
but a whole lotta cool
we got some goodies and went to the movie
"death at a funeral"
we laughed and cuddled and totally enjoyed the movie
as we were leaving she made me a promise
she's gonna "get me" for that one
i wonder what she has in mind ?
i can't wait to find out
good times
by martin
