The Bottom Line .....................................
Eyes open Sweat develops alongside the bends of her face; Remembering that the forecast predicted a sweltering afternoon she hates the day already.......... The radio alarm threw her into the sickening familiarity of an unwanted morning to the tune of 1960’s bubble-gummy pop -- When I woke up this morning, you were on my mind -- telling her of what she was painfully aware of -- yea, you were on my mind --- Reminding her of what she suffered Last night --- I’ve got troubles, whoa-oh --- She loves him --- I’ve got worries, whoa-oh --- But he could never make his mind up concerning her --- I’ve got wounds to bind --- Her heart, kicked around like a soccer ball Bruises darkened over the surface of her soul Penetrating deeper over time So last night, She drank so as to dull the pain But the bruises doubled in intensity the morning after The heat The hangover The aches in her stomach And her heart ...... why did I wake up? Switch off the goddamn radio; Don’t need any sappy songs to remind me of my misery........ She gets out of bed To observe her reflection across the mirrors’ length All opinions are subjective But her feelings felt like objective truth to her........ The voices that surround her Tell her how gorgeous she is How sexy God made her Tell her what they would love to experience with her Above the mattress, beneath the sheets, within the shadows of the bedroom She absorbs the praise She doesn’t deny their words ..... the words caress the human need for affection, for companionship..... But she can’t spy behind their eyes And read the text of their souls Just as they can’t read The many chapters of the novel that is her........ Everything fought within her As she stood for an eternity facing the mirror But why should anybody worry -- nobody got hurt ..... except for herself......... She didn’t think she was gorgeous She saw nothing but the flaws The flaws that everybody failed to acknowledge In the pursuit of wanting to know the erotic portion of her soul She believed that she failed He seemed to take her for granted -- to spend time with her when it arose, rather than making time for her -- The humid air made her body uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as her soul....... Dive into a frigid pool Ease the discomfort of her skin, her body Sink to the bottom And never come up for air ..... then the rest of her discomfort would float away A spark of heat-induced agony Forced her to consider such dark thoughts........... The reflection only showed her the wounds The wounds that nobody could see That some eyes may not bear to see Or be interested in seeing ........ But the reactions of others could not erase those scars It hurts when she moves When things spiral out of control within her heart Even when she tries to deny their existence They return with a vengeance, opening up and bleeding even more strongly. Why? Why? Why did life write this story for her? A woman whom both jealous and admiring eyes figure to be a woman who has it all, who is happy beyond measure ...... but she knows better...... Sure, it wasn’t all hell But everyone else only wants to hear about the heaven Hoping that the hell will go away........ ......but she has the wounds the bottles of tears she shed And the two divorces to prove that her hell does exist......... She isn’t a young, naive woman anymore She only wants to walk on a terrain not littered with landmines of the heart ....... she’s too old to deal with this shit any longer........ She doesn’t deserve to grow old And die alone Unloved Misunderstood All she wants Is for someone to call her Honey To call her Babe To call her Sweetheart To call her Soulmate To call her Friend........... To say that I love you To say that I’ll never leave you To say that I’ll never take you for granted To say that I’ll never play with your head To say that I love all the stuff that makes you you.......... ...... and never create a shred of doubt. It isn’t complicated All she wants is for him to make her feel appreciated To feel loved For who she is Not for what he wants her to give him at a moment’s notice Someone who can help her Bandage the wounds that nobody else ever bothered to tend to Bind them, carefully easing them to heal, to disappear once and for all ..... and to make her forget the agony and discomfort of the morning heat. ------- Song Lyrics: "You were on my Mind" We Five  |
