THE SOUL
Luckily not as long as the last poem I posted......possibly a lot more simpler, though. Basically I was wondering if youse guys could help me come up with a title fer this. Muchly appreciated. I loveth you so.

"I had an itch on the inside,
and I scratched on the outside."
Is that all? That's all there ever is....
but there's something more to say, I think,
when you're caught on the wrong side of everything.
I'd tell you if I was down.
I pretended that I knew how.
You dare to cross lines and hearts.
I'm pretty enough to get away with being dark,
ugly enough to make you feel safe in my arms.
We talk about skipping out,
but nothing's prettier than what's right no1w.
And we don't know the difference anyway.
I want to know what to expect of night and day
now we have landfills to overwhelm the air all over the place.

You know nothing ever changes
except the things we said we'd always do.
It's gonna fall, so let it fall.
It's gonna come, but still we call.

Haven's heavy fingers in this day with you--
they loosen me up, and I can't say what I'll do.
I'm sick of all the gold, I'd like to make a little trash.
I'll tell you the truth I made out of a lie that I cashed
if you tell me who's been the light that loves you fast?
I won't tell a soul if you promise you pretend we're forgiven.
I won't tell the music the words you're singing.
Vampires and fevers aside, I know I came just close enough to control
and prove I'm really here. But you don't know

It's gonna fall, so let it fall.
We know it's gonna come and still we crawl.
I'm gonna wonder, but I will not ask.
You're gonna look away, but you will not turn your back.

Setting myself down and out like thunder,
I don't believe in the dying summer.
More out of our minds than out of work,
we kill each other, but it doesn't hurt.
Gone underground, but high above the dirt.
You shouldn't say such things to me.
I know why lovers steal.
I believe big in the big idea tonight.
Not the right time;
the wrong bed, the right lies.

Your one great love leaves you,
makes you want it, want it cool.
Still I burn,
you don't learn.
I wasn't waiting for anything.
I don't want,
I don't stop.
There's nothing wrong except
everything I have.
And I couldn't change you,
I couldn't save you.

It's gonna fall, so let it fall.
We know it's gonna come, and still we crawl.
I'm gonna wonder, but I will not ask.
You're gonna look away, but you will not turn your back.

You know nothing ever changes
except the things we said we'd always do.
I did love, you didn't want me to.

We'll both go back the way we came,
but not together, we can't go back the same.
Didn't you hear me follow you that way?
Didn't you want to stay this way?
Did it change you?
Did it save you?

You break a heart,
we don't talk about it and then,
we wake up in the morning
and we do it again.

I was looking for the new thing
and you were the sunshine heading my front line,
I was alone you were just around the corner from me." ~Pete Yorn
 
That was nice! It seems like good song lyrics!

When you stop taking chances and stay where you sit you won't live any longer but it'll feel like it!
 
Monita, simply great!

Some suggestions for titles...

"So Let It Fall" (an incredible refrain, btw)

"Go Back the Way You Came"

"Repeat" "Pattern" "Blueprint" "Guide" etc. (this comes from the last lines: "we wake up in the morning/ and we do it again." To me this sugessts a title that implies a pattern, something that has happened many times over. Something like that.)

Anyway, great work!

Lay it down, child
Lay it down, child
And walk into this room all made with love for you...


And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

MONA!!!

"I'll tell you the truth I made out of a lie that I cashed "

That line is simply brilliant. I mean that. The whole thing is great, but that line is just...wow.

I like the "let it Fall" suggestion.

Wow girl!

As for a title, I like hippy's suggestions.

I won't get my feelings hurt.

"It Burned Like Fire"

The sun burned itself into the crevices of her face. Slowly, each ray caressed a delicate spot: this one implanted itself in the soft line near her eye; that one scorched designs across her lips; yet another ray chisled itself into her sensitive nose. Every feature was brushed by the shifting light.

The oppressive heat was vehemently baking the sidewalk as she journeyed toward her denouement. Her small, susceptible feet experienced every blistering step. Her thin sandals were hardly enough protection, yet had she the choice, she would have gone without them.

Her hands searched through the extraordinary bag she continuously carried with her, reaching for what she knew was buried inside. She must find her small security and regain control.

She slowly placed her sunglasses over her eyes, withdrew her face from the sun, and continued walking, taking comfort in the permanent feel of her feet beneath her. Maybe tomorrow she would be brave enough to hold her face unflinchingly to the sun, but for today she was invulnerable.

Sidenote: Thought you guys would like the title too
