The Devil I know-Amy Everett

It's 5:00 pm

Smiles surround this stormy Sky

I realize

I am all right

Soul mates are ashes that once burned bright

But if they are ashes it means they couldn't of been soul mates -right?

I stand here jaded in a jaded sigh

Maybe Starbucks will do just fine

Traveling on an empty road is far better than traveling the road of lies

But it's your sin

You called yourself my friend

I laugh inside

I break inside

All at the same fucking time

So I play Yellowcard and turn it up highI sing the lyrics to The Song- Only One

And realize that there is no one for me

You had the resume

You owned the Vacancy signs

And to you that wasn't all right??

See me Cheshire cat , a little broken

But I love that

I drink my tea

Think of all of you

That I love

Realize I am not alone

Soul mates.....................

Maybe just wasn't meant for me

But what I tell you

What was, was this mornings coffee

I know this moment and what I have survived

Just trying to keep it all afloat

And fuck you, you had the last round!

You didn't deserve it at all!
But you know that.......
And drowning was your choice not mine................................

So I wait under street lamps for my regrets

But they are mine.

And I sleep

I sleep

I sleep knowing that I never lied

Where do you rest your head at night?

Maybe I am hiding now

But that's OK...

You' ll have to agree

Maybe my soul mate-is me.

So when you drink

Have one for me

Congratulations

on bending steel for nothing

For traveling a million miles down in return for your lonely glass of tea....

Look in the mirror

do you feel empty?

Maybe it's the devil we know

Looking for the answer

I find mine in the sword

And the love I give

Cowards wouldn't understand

I have cried a million tears but who cares

I use them to sail me forward

Not into a bottle,

I am pure and beautiful

An Angel

So yes , I am jaded

But I am whole

Better than a shot glass you swim in alone

So here is the message

I write so loud and clear

A thousand to leave

To conquer a thousand more seas

Stronger

Truer

Where I can feel the water

Not just read about them in books

Feel the excitement mount!

So here we go.....

Maybe I don't have my soul mate

But for now

Starbucks and notebooks

will suit me just fine.....
