" You know my head's too soft and my lifes to hard."

"We're all a little broken. We're all a little twisted. We're all less than we could be or want to be. "

"a good woman will pick you apart
a box full of suggestions for your possible heart
and you may be offended. and you may be afraid
but don't walk away, don't walk away"

I saw you today
walking with her
and I gave up.
How can I
ever begin to compete
with her extreme beauty,
which is all you've ever wanted
I am plain,
wasted
nothing you could ever see.
So now I am stuck
in this shame coated body
watching the only thing
I've ever really wanted
walk away with her.
