Array ( [sid] => 50558 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To The One I Lost and The Bullet I Found [time] => 2004-06-05 17:06:46 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I shot the driver and I’m beggin you again
To take me home tonight for old times sake
Soak my clothes in gasoline, slowly strike the match
And tell me I’m everything you hate

Even these damaged eyes can read your perfect lips perfectly
You said you loved me once but now you just keep hurting me

Am I the reason or just in the way
Is this the season or just one more day
For you to kill me slow, without letting me know
Why I’m dying
Why am I dying

I felt your fingertips touch the bullet hole
And you said goodbye so slow
With a straight face and dry eyes this time
You didn’t say no
Today was the best day for me to go

The sky is falling down and every drop burns
And the stars are fading as a welcoming note
If you see the girl with my heart in her hands
Tell her I love her, and I’ll miss her the most

Am I the reason or just in the way
Is this the season or just one more day
For you to kill me slow, without letting me know
Why I’m dying
Why am I dying

I felt your fingertips touch the bullet hole
And you said goodbye so slow
With a straight face and dry eyes this time
You didn’t say no
Today was the best day for me to go

Today was the best day for me to go

Yup James, I'm commenting again.

"Even these damaged eyes can read your perfect lips perfectly
You said you loved me once but now you just keep hurting me"

Something about those lines echo in my head and through my blood to my heart, and thats where they weigh the most. You have a way of doing that to me through your poetry. And I love every moment of it. Thank you for writing the way you do. It speaks volumes into my heart. I relate. I feel. You're so real. :)

Thanks again James.

Lindsey
