This Isn't An Epic, I Just Don't Know When To End Things

Dearly beloved, are you listening?
My heart is hurting me, I can barely say a thing
I wish I could help you now, I've done it before
But it's tough when I'm living at death's door

And right now I'm the center of attention
You're the core of what's wrong with me
A melody that's too addictive
I can't stop humming it to take time to live

Oh, my darling, tell me you're listening
I have a feel this is the last song I'll sing
Please, save me honey
Kiss me and tell me you won't let me go
I have a hunch death is something love can help me avoid

Okay, forget this, no one's listening
There are no hands waving in the air, cause no one seems to care
That I'm shouting my heart out, and shredding my soul
Just to make an impression and capture hearts

Ahhh, never mind
I know that there's someone listening
And hanging onto every word
I wonder which ones she's heard?
(Have you been there all the time?)

I guess it's time I get my heart attack fixed
It'll just take a kiss upside the head
Or a smack right on the lips
I've been so happy so see you here with me
Tell it to me again girl; what's your name?

I read poetry hidden in the graffiti
Inside the bathroom stall
Signs and sighs are the same thing more often than people realize
And I don't care, no I don't care
I don't care, (so I tell myself)
You don't care, no you don't care
You don't care (that's what I tell myself)

Sometimes I feel so full of it
All the crap that's supposed to be creativity

**********

Dearly beloved, I hope you're listening
'Cause I've meant you to hear this song
And like it a whole lot
Is there some kind of beacon, a rallying point
We can try to avoid?
Something that'll turn them off but switch us on
Something that looks like "run, run away"
But really says "come, come and stay"
I'm glad that you're in the audience
Taking in my words, listening
Heck, I've been singing this all for you
