Takes his place....

Says, “Baby, I’m all sorts of sorry.”
Says, “Babe, you know I’m all kinds of sad.”
Says, “Maybe it was fun while it lasted.”
I say, “Baby, I just wish that it had.”
Stands before me and his arms are folded
Teeth clenched in a too-perfect face
Turns to leave, an anonymous other
Steps in line to take his foolish place
Each lover’s conversation
“I love you” “No, I love you more”
A perfect imitation
Of the one who came before
Every lover tells a different story
Every story always ends the same
Every lover spins the same kind of sugar
Only thing that changes is his name
Every dream and childhood recollection
Whispered to me in exactly the same way
Don’t ask me where it hurts, now
I swear to God I couldn't say
That which doesn’t kill me strengthens me
Repeated end-to-endlessly
If I’m so goddamned strong now
How come I feel so lonely?
He says lots of lovely fill-in-the-blank
He so stresses that he’s not like other men
I sit back, he stands up
And the cycle circles ’round again
One follows right behind the other
Line forms to the right and single-file
Another break-up, another lover
I haven’t felt this old in a while
Each loving lie is spoken
How we mean it at the time
Identical hearts are broken
Another goes to the back of the line
“I love you” “I love you”
“I love you” “No, I love you more”
Each sentiment, each resident
Just the same as the one who came before, yeah
Tell me again until I feel something
Tell me again until I feel something
Tell me again until I feel something
Tell me again until I feel something, yeah
’Cause I feel nothing now

Cause i feel nothing now.
i think thats the most incredible thing I've heard in a long time!
So incredible cause I feel/felt myself whispering that sentence to every guy i almost have ever met!Its like talking yourself into a relationship with someone you don't want to be with...other than your friends or?........just that calm you get knowing someone is out there for you......:);)
Cause I feel nothing now. Can be taken two ways.
A whisper and a chill

"Why do I bother?"
The 11th Commandment.
"Whatever"
PETITION TO STOP THE BAN OF SMOKING IN BARS IN THE UNITED STATES....Anyone?
i like your poem
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
That which doesn’t kill me strengthens me
Repeated end-to-endlessly
If I’m so goddamned strong now
How come I feel so lonely?
...but I'm sure you knew that already
