Silent

i don't know where to start
and i have no idea how to end it
this is wrong no matter how you spin it
the words come and go but none capture the moment
i'm silent

my ears heard you say it
i saw the expression on your face
you were serious and full of intentions
i'm not sure if they were good or bad
which direction you are heading is a mystery
you're waiting for my response
i'm silent

normally, i can fire off a quick quip
brush off your shots easily
dodge your bullets like a pro
whenever you try to get under my skin
i deflect you again and again
but this was unexpected
its not like you to cut so deep to hurt me
your cheshire like grin leaves me Silent

did you read a self help book
or join an online relationship forum
the other day you mentioned being at your wits end
i didn't pay attention to it
i never do when you say stupid things like that
i love you isn't that enough for you
now we are staring at each other
you're holding your breath now
we are now both Silent

i think you broke us
i don't know what to do or say
i let the Silence stay
i grab my coat
i go out the door
and i walk away

Tornado

i thought you were a sure thing
a solid bet you'd fall into me
but you misrepresented your availability
now i'm left with the taste of you lingering on my tongue,
but you aren't here to hold

you tease me with winks and sexual innuendo
you're smooth and full of bullshit
you have a little blonde bunny to play with
why is it so hard for you to tell me the truth
instead i'm left to speculate about your intentions
i need to walk away right now!

i'm letting this go, it's bringing me down
i'm not happy with the outcome
but i realize i have no control over you
you went the easy route
she's familiar and madly in love with you
i'm new and unpredictable
that really freaks you out

i'd love you hard and fast, like a tornado,
i'd lift you up and spin you around, then drop you,
watch you crash into the ground.
my love would dominate your existence,
until you'd wonder how you ever lived without me.
but you can't handle my uncertainty,
so you keep on taking the easy way out.
