Will Not Fight (revised)

This is what it comes down to. This is a song that will be up shortly on the myspace music page.

 Well I'm so glad I could be the one

The one to help you move on

When you were feeling tied down

You wanted me around...

You never loved her, but you stayed

To keep the peace, didn't want to break

Her heart, didn't want to be the beast

Who struck her down...

 

And I'm not angry,

Just feel a fool

For being weaker than the rules

That we broke so easily

I said I'm fine, I'm f*****g fine

Don't need your love wasting my time

Don't need a thing

Don't need anything from you

 

What kind of person feels no shame

For such a crime?

What kind of lover takes no blame?

And I

I will not fight

I will not fight for you.

 

In the winter,

Woollen threads will keep me warm

And I'll consider

Seeing autumn as

Being warned

But I'll admit this past December,

I thought 'this could be the year

When Summer lasts forever

Under skies forever clear,'

But looking back I think I'd always known

That it was always gonna snow

Again...

 

What kind of lover feels no cold

In an empty bed?

What kind of man can sleep in peace

Without a hand behind his head?

 

I,

I will not fight

I will not fight

I will not fight for you.

Kiri, I am going to send you an email. This poem has not gone unnoticed by me.

Love the openness, honesty, and brutality of this. Do I hear a song? Hmm?

[fireblossom]

bitter

the good heart profaned. one feels foolish for having cared enough to get hurt.

well expressed Kira.
