time

two

Written years ago:

~~~
you’re my first thought every morning
my last thought every night
i know these times are hard for you
but something isn’t right.

this thing that lies between us
was beautiful and surreal
now it’s torn and crumbling
and you don’t seem to feel.

i just might understand, you know
if you could let me in
you judge me by old standards
you’re blind to what’s within.

do i make you feel too much?
you want to break my hold?
the one who wants to help you most
is locked out in the cold.

in the past i know they’ve hurt you
and you swore not ever again
does it somehow make it better
to laugh, not let me in?

you laugh like i’m the enemy
you scorn my reaching grasp
you’d rather stand alone, you say
but what good’s a broken clasp?

i know these times are hard for you
i do my best to understand
but you could say just one word to me
and i could hold your hand.

i would never hurt you
i could never hurt you
i will never hurt you
please let me in.

I can share that now. You’re the first to see it. I think… I guess it’s time. ;)

  1. Bravo (not like it was written for me or anything… but it was good).

    COMMENT:
    Mr. Mischiff,

    I’m Kyle la Fontaine from the High Class Management. I was wondering if you’d be interseting in having a chart topping global single? We can either hire out the song to one of our media conglomerate whores — Pink? Avril Lavigne? Or we can totally make you over via a 3 day coma. In this time we can do a complete body overhaul by sucking your fat out, cosmetic surgery, and implantation so that you resemble that spritely child Tara Reid?

    Interested?

  2. i’m seeing a multi-vocal ensamble — very “we are the world”

    Britney. Christina. Pink. Avril. Beyonce. Justin timberlake. 50 Cent. Tatu. Kelly Osbourne. Shakira. Jewel. 98ยบ. Aaron Carter.

    okay, if i wrote anymore i would vomit…

  3. *gasp* i could be a top40 whore?! woo! i don’t know what to say! i’m so excited!

    yes, i know it’s power-ballady, but the whole melodrama of that situation made it appropo. besides- not to take anything away from what i was going through, but that whole storyline is so cliched it hurts. soap opera- how i have left you behind.

  4. Cliche, indeed. but it’s a cliche for a reason. cuz we all go through something like that at some time. (and for those who don’t learn the first time around, usually more than once)

    I’m curious what made you want to share that now.

  5. werd to the balls sir. Takes ’em to put that out there. Call it what you want, but it is only cliche if we recognize it. I do, I’ve been that guy. Melodrama for a melodramatic moment.

    Ok speaking of cliche’s or something, I just pulled one of Sarah’s hairs off my shirt. For those of you that don’t know; she moved out a year and a half ago!

  6. Interesting little ditty. Have you set it to music? But the worse thing for me at lease is that I can relate to it totaly.

  7. I’m tempted to start posting in here, partly because it’s funny, partly because at least I could be posting, and partly because I’m drinking rum. Woo!

  8. oh where oh where have dj’s posts gone? oh where oh where could they be?

    WHAT’S GOING ON OVER THERE???? I believe you’ll make it up to us. even if without pix, give us provoking thoughts, intimate stories, political satire, anything please, in this comment box.

    -your devoted readership

  9. Well, Senior Code Ninja Judd managed to fix the path to the Gallery, so I stuck a wack new pics over there. Feel free to peruse, comment, and enjoy.

    Time for brunch.

  10. Well I have done my catching up Adrian and now I see why last night was no knews to you. Ooops. That whole situation is ass anyways though.
    As for this entry. Marvellous as always. You have a way with words. They dig deep. Helps me to still know………..

  11. I don’t think this really translates for anyone who doesn’t have a blog… actually I know some people have that kind of friendship or relationship where you can’t wait to tell each other all the news, however minor. Well, all I’m saying is that I keep thinking of things I want to blog about, and I can’t publish right away. I could write them, and cue them up, but it’s not the same.

    Thanks all for coming by in the meantime though. Feeling the love. Soon Grand Master Judd will come to my rescue. Once all the other fires are put out. *sigh* We need to make sure that boy feels the love.
