This is still part of my writing exercise, even though all it is is lyrics to a song that made me think of the last relationship I had. I know it's a writing exercise, but this is also a purging exercise and I thought the lyrics very apt. And consider it an attempt to make up for backlog since I did say I would write about one guy a day.

Oh. It's Pearl Jam, by the way.

The waiting drove me mad. You're finally here and I'm a mess.
I take your entrance back. Can't let you roam inside my head.

I don't want to take what you can give.
I would rather starve than eat your bread.
I would rather run but I can't walk.
Guess I lie alone just like before.

I'll take the firmest path. Oh, and I must refuse your test.
A-push me and I will resist. This behavior's not unique.

I don't want to hear from those who know.
They can buy but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to wait for them to walk.
Never would have known of me before.

I don't want to be held in your debt.
I'll pay it off in blood let I be wed.
I'm already cut up and half dead.
I'll end up alone like I began. Yea...

Everything has changed. Absolutely nothing's changed.
(yeahhhh!!!! - me)
'Take my hand, not my picture.' Spilled my teacher.

I don't want to take what you can give.
I would rather starve than eat your breast.
All the things that others want for me.
Can't buy what I want because it's free.
Can't buy what I want because it's free.
Can't be what you want because I...

I ain't supposed to be just fun.
Oh, to live and die let it be done.
I figure I'll be damned. All alone like I began.

It's your move now. I thought you were a friend but I guess, I... I guess I hate you.
