That Guy

fear my friend
the artist's scorn
for the sadness you invoke
may be my next newest lyric
in that song that makes the audience say
"Damn, Im glad Im not that guy!"

But you are
"that guy"

that guy who made me care
then acted careless
that guy who gave me hope
then left me hopeless
that guy who hurt me
even if it wasnt on purpose
that guy
who got me twisted
and then unraveled me with words
sounding sweet and sincere
those words...
those words
coming
from your mouth
caressing my skin with each syllable
haiku-ing your way into my heart...


now i know you try hard
to make me understand
i want so badly
to believe you
but fear
and past experiences
keep me
away

I know your not perfect
but the truth
is a start
a start
to a truth
only time takes apart

i miss you now

but ill close with the night
leaving your memory
to dance
through my dreams
where
what i want
is
the same
as what is right
and you are a song
that i sing while smiling
