all i want

Sometimes i feel like there's no point to writing because leonard cohen and joni mitchell have already said it better.

i know i have said this before

but simon and garfunkel.....are just.
fuck.

old rhymes circa 06

i hated your jokes
i was full of spite
yet we'd always see eye to eye
but though your laughter was addictive
at times you'd make me cry.

a few months passed
a new light was grasped
this you made me see
that despite the flinty ways of the world
what a beautiful place it can be.

the sound to my ears,
you grinding my gears
at times i wanted you to end,
it was no fairy tale,
no summer romance,
but my bounty of anxieties you did mend.

your mother said don't hurt me
and ouch,
you did indeed,
it took some restless nights with my joni
and stiff rye and gingers to fill my need.

now, that ship has sailed away
the hard feelings have since been rid,
youve made me fall for you in a whole other way
that, you most certainly did.

things will change,
the seasons will range,
the bracelets will soon divide,
but i hope we remain
as you once proclaimed;
to jerry,
love elaine.
