I Keep The Shades Pulled Down So I Can't See My Reflection

by Emma Carnage   May 24, 2007


What do you do when love stops rhyming with you and me but only rhymes with what used to be?
When the end of an era comes to an end what is left to follow?
When the letters stop coming together and the words stop forming what happens to the letters?
Once you run out of lipstick and the ink dries up how are you supposed to speak?
Erase the sketch of your kiss.
Package it away and mark it for storage.
What happens to memories when they're left out in the sun for too long?
Now that the gun is no longer loaded is there anymore controversial love?
When hate is all you know is love still a beautiful word?
This is just my desperate attempt for an ongoing conversation.
When I promise to stop my lipstick lies can I continue with my polished hate?
When you have lips like morphine you don't just lick your lips to hear the sound.
It's so easy to take somebody's word for truth with their mouth caressing your neck.
True love may be blind but it's also been diagnosed with cancer.
They always say that she's perfect in her own way when all it means is she's flawed like everybody else.
When everybody is different isn't everybody just the same?
To destroy something beautiful is to create something beautiful.
The opposite of war isn't peace; it's creation.
When you look at everything as black or white your life is gray.
When the only thing you owe somebody is your life then your debt is pointless.
Sometimes I pray to the God that I don't believe in and am surprised when He doesn't answer me.
To be in a better place at a better time could simply add up to be worse.
When a song changes your life then your life wasn't worth changing.
I question where does the good go but don't bother to listen to the answer.
Once you finally know everything that you want to say your life could very well be over.
Can't you just say that you love me and for once leave off the but.
I'm sick of being so uptight.
I'll finally just go away from myself.
Because I know that I wouldn't like me if I met me.
