i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
jerk you off? yeah, sure - JERK YOU OFF YOUR PEDESTAL BY THE CHAIN AROUND YOUR NECK!

life has been . . . complicated lately.

i have been meeting new people, trying new things, going out more, and still getting bitchier and more isolated that before.

go figure.

i just want to be happy and see the people i love happy. i don't WANT to have to find new people to love because they always leave. i don't want the ones i have now to go. i don't like change much.

but the bandage was ripped off and the yuck scraped off and we are drawing out the infection of solitude, boredom & depression that has eaten away at my soul.

i started to write again and then some things happened that sent me into a spin and i can't regain control. my thoughts can't be organized and i do the most utterly random things all the time lately.

i have found that i prefer kids to adults, too. their honestly is refreshing and joy genuine.

i just want to be able to step back, defocus and see a big picture here but i can't. everything is spinning wildly, popping like pop-corn & percolating like an old tin coffeepot. glances and memories all mixed as one and no clear indication of what is up and where down went.

i miss having a friend i can confide in. i miss the secret-keeper, the heart-in-a-box safe feeling. i miss the back to lean on and the comfort in the silence. i miss the incomplete sentences that translates for someone into volumes. i miss the shades of tenderness and the hand on my arm. i miss being needed but not feeling used up. i miss the laughter and tears. i miss the understanding. i miss the acceptance.
