Turpentine

TURPENTINE from a song by Jaye Barnes Luckett / ATE 13 (aka vivaknievel) ©1998

Life's a bitch and then you
Go on living
How sad it is
to dislike someone you love

You painted all the pretty pictures
That caused my art
To ache and break
You took your
Turpentine
And shined...
The smile right off my face

Blank canvas
I cannot speak
I cannot weep any longer

Life's a stitch
and it keeps on breaking open
Hang the DJ
because he plays the same thing
Every night
In spite
We stopped dancing about ten memories ago

Life's a box of chocolates
...that have melted
And what a mess you left
I clean
Just to feel I am

Life's a bowl of molded, old, cold cherries
Very
But in my life
The hunger's bottomless

And in my life
Everyone I know
Is a stranger

Jennifer,
Aw, thank you. Just wanted to show some love for everybody else sharing themselves so openly.
