Lyrical Poetry... again!

I wrote these a really long time ago. I think they're probably still my best, although there have been no plans as of yet to use them for my band, so I think I'll post them here, and see what people think.

Reasons to end our Courtship

Not feeling the touch of your hand again
Never tasting the sweet of your lip
These are my reasons to do it
The reasons to end our courtship

I don’t want to see your face again
Not after what you just did
I don’t know what I can do now
I don’t know if I can live

That look in your eyes makes my stomach
Feel like it’s going to give in
I used to long for your gaze
Now I can’t bear to see it again
I wanted your lips to touch mine
And we’d be as one for a while
But since I have seen you with him
I don’t think that we could reconcile

Your love is no longer for me
You only have eyes for him
And seeing your face light up
Makes me want take my life on a whim

I think of all ways to kill myself
Each one is worse than the rest
I can’t bring myself to do it
I can’t open the medicine chest

That look in your eyes makes my stomach
Feel like it’s going to give in
I used to long for your gaze
Now I can’t bear to see it again
I wanted your lips to touch mine
And we’d be as one for a while
But since I have seen you with him
I don’t think that we could reconcile

The blade in my hand is too dull
The pills just won’t make me forget
So I bring the light to my face
And drag on another cigarette

I convince myself that you were wrong
Just one more in a whole line of mistakes
And that I will find another one
Who won’t be such a goddamn flake

But that look in your eyes makes my stomach
Feel like it’s going to give in
I used to long for your gaze
Now I can’t bear to see it again
I wanted your lips to touch mine
And we’d be as one for a while
But since I have seen you with him
I don’t think that we could reconcile





Hope you liked them. Let me know what you think.

A New Lyrical Poem!

It's about Daniel Johnston, and not about Daniel Johnston.
It's about his music, and not about his music.
it's about copying his style, and trying to do something different from his style.

I hope you like it:

There's a dead dog laughing at a clown
you don't want to see his face
you don't want to see that frown
he displays on his face
no, you don't want to see that frown.

A man named Daniel asked
September '83
How are you, oh how are you gonna be?
you don't know the answer, you're hiding in the trees
because you can't feel that breeze
that is blowing in your face
oh no, you don't want to see his face

There's a dead dog laughing at a clown
you don't want to see his face
you don't want to see that frown
he displays on his face
no, you don't want to see that frown

A man named Johnston
December '85
continued this story
oh, it was worth a try
now whenever you hear it
you hear it you will cry

'cause there's a dead dog laughing at a clown
you don't want to see his face
you don't want to see that frown
he displays on his face
oh, no you don't want to see that frown
