I loved that you didn´t
Care about me
Or my mistakes
Or my disease

I loved that you didn´t
Seem to pretend
That you were more
Than simply a friend

I loved that you were
As deadly as fire
And the only one
That I´d ever desire

I loved your excuses
So perfectly made-up

I loved you were hurting
When I finally gave up

Is destruction really so bad?
I mean
You can't build until
You've destroyed
Whatever was there
And maybe
What I am
Needs to be rebuilt
Maybe I need to face
My destruction
So that I can come back
Or maybe it's just
An excuse
To give in
And destroy myself

My pockets are full and anyone could tell.
Thank god they don't point it out,
Otherwise I'd feel like a clown.

Put it here,
Move it there,
Try my coat pockets instead.

My Pockets are full,
now you can see.
But still,
It's best you do not approach me.

For you see,
I would rather ignore it and take it on my own,
rather than someone pricking their hand on my broken pencil.

I know it's not right,
But it's my life.
It's hard enough when you have the need to have all these things in a space,
unneeded,
but believed to be needed because I don't need to believe that not everything is needed...

Including me...

My pockets are full,
It's more than I can handle.
So please step aside,
Because to you I don't matter
The need to feel wanted is strong.
Might as well just whine about it in a site no one knows what's going on in my head at night. All but you. Thank you.

Where all the victims
                             of imaginary friends

Still talking
                         even though

They never really said
anything.

We Just made them
                                 up,
                        to make
         excuses for our weaknesses.

Boys will be Boys
Boys will chase those twirl skirts
Better Pull Yours Down
Before they rip you to the concrete mattress
Boys have no self control
Being but mindless humans of ill decency
Boys will spew with slugged catcalls and woos
But your skirt wasn't modest was it?
Boys have no self control
Better you know that now
Rather than when they excuse themselves from all their actions

Thoughts,
unadulterated,
are valuable and rarely spoken.
Excuses,
reasons of incompetence,
can swiftly take their place.
Ease,
no repercussion,
is the motive.
why?
because, it is easier
to make an excuse for your action
than it is to tell the organic truth.

I'm not the BLACK coat
you can HANG
next to the bigotry you HIDE
in that closest of yours.

So STOP
wearing me out
when you want to warm up
your cold views
by saying
"I can't be racist; I have a BLACK FRIEND."

Maybe...
I will...
So one day...
I could...
If only...
I might...
Just maybe...
I should...

Why don't...
I think, really...
To be frank...
I'm not sure...
It's possible...
Probably...
The odds...
One in four...

Within reason...
Yes, quite...
And besides...
Who knows when...
It's not...
In the meantime...
You know me...
Then again...

Given the chance...
Nevertheless...
They would never agree...
It's likely...
Of course...
Yet, there's no guarantee...

All things being equal...
However...
You can rarely depend...
On second thoughts...
Sometime soon....
Well, that's settled then!
A rhyming litany of excuses.
