Audio Blog-Rejection

I've come a long way girl, you don't even know.

I couldn't hide from the memories.
Sweating under the bright kitchen light.
Interrogated by the flourescent vibe
Sweating.
I gotta answer the questions.
And they always come.
Tumbling out of your mouth after a hard day of work.
The words sting.
The accusations you hurl, burn.
The flourescent look opens me up.
Yeah I keep secrets girl.
And if you keep digging in the wrong places you'll come across what i've buried deep.
Can you handle that?
Can you handle me?

I hope when I take off my shirt you trust me.
Tracing your finger along my chest.
Girl what are you looking for?
It's not going to be easy dealing with me.
I'm worth the struggle but if you're not down with it all there's the door.

Stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor.
But girl, girl...girl you always want more.
What you looking for?
You want me to pack my things?
And slam the front door?
Stomp the steps?
Reverse time?
To another time.
With the sunlight.
Before the rain and pain.
Before hearing my voice drove you insane.
Before the radio began to crackle
And the heat got to us.
And we were sweating and fighting.
Under the hot sunnnnn our love was igniting.
And i'm cupping my hands around the flame.
But it's slowly slipping through my fingers.
Like water
Like sand.
Sick of this hourglass romance.

I write little one liners
Hoping you could fill the gaps
Instead there's this silence.
I can hear the water in the taps.
You drum your fingers on the counter expectantly.
Brush back those locks.
Eyes fierce.
You want war.
I sense danger and excuse myself to the corner store.
Along the way kicking rocks.
Watching them scatter and slide.
I need to roll one up.
Find a cloud of smoke I can confide.
But that was years ago.
I've come a long way girl you don't even know.
