Same old Story

[Kalyope]

I open my mouth to sing
along with the chorus
on the radio and choke
on the words I should have said
last night, but didn't. The song
lyrics never find their way
out--drowned by tears
of frustration. I should've said
I was sorry, should've said
I need you, but I threw a lamp--
I screamed indtead. Anger
masked my pain, made me
less vulnerable to your penetrating
eyes. The ones that begged
forgiveness I wasn't ready to give.

I turn the radio off disgusted.
It's unfair those singers
can always find the right words
to express themselves. I don't
feel like singing anyway.

I really like that one.

My favorite parts were the opening, and the closing.

The in between was well written, but lacked something... I'm not sure what though.. maybe it was just word choice? I dunno.

At any rate - yes, the opening and closing were wonderful.
