Careful With A Wish

"Careful With A Wish"
2010

Right now the sky's growing black
Like God's spilled a bottle of ink
But your words just keep falling out
I don't think you even stop to blink
'Cause you never seem, to ever take a breath
You just deliver all your pain to ears
And the minutes here, have nothing on weeks
But your questions make it feel like years
And when I look deep, inside of your eyes
I still see the turning gears are burning bright
And 'cause you often say, some very nice things
You think that you have earned the right
To poke at my mind, with a very sharp stick
Which is really just a metaphor
For you being blind, and nosy as fuck
And disaster's what you're headed for
But you really should forgive, the rage that I feel
It's helped to form this armor of mine
And that's 'cause my heart, has started to wilt
And is really getting harder to find
But when it's location, was plain to be seen
Your pretty face was never once in view
Yet the minute that things, start to collapse
I hear about what I need to do for you
But that's now how this works, or did you forget
That your bridges were crossed and burned
And the ashes lay here, for you to collect
Along with the lessons that you should've learned
So start clearing out space, since the facts in this case
No longer fit inside my frame of mind
Your picture's torn in half, now I'll have myself a laugh
As I watch your horror, guilt, and shame combine
But I guess I should've been more careful
Each time I made a wish
Because when I look at you
I think, "I never wished for this,"
So you can apologize
But you're really wasting breath
Since I already died inside
You just betrayed what's left
So feel free to join the wind
That blows strong the other way
May you sleep well at night
Now that I've finally had my say...
