A nod to http://hollyet.wordpress.com/ for the cheery lyrics below. And of course they have no idea, you know, they never do. It's not their fault, women just deal differently. But knowing this doesn't help. It just requires patience and when you have none it just strips you. She says it well as always, just when you really think you've got it, found it, hold on to it, it's just one more damned thing to deal with and nothing that you expected. It's true that love sucks and men are the perpetual frigging Jordan. Ain't no crossing in this lifetime. Self-centered soft-focus, fade to black. Happy early Valentine's Day!


something returned

i’ll give to you

battered blues and worn out shoes

hopeful prayers

another song

you’re back at the beginning

dropped the string along

and i was glad to give it to you

what you stole was yours all along

you provide the definition

you tell me where to go

you answer or you don’t

any phrase is a catch

you got me from the start

this is what i’ve found:

i never rhyme

i never reason

in the christmas season.
