Athena Hood

I tell myself, 'you are stronger than this'
But I know in my heart that I miss
Everything that was, has been, and had been
Fine, you own me, you win
...

Friendship with you is a privilege
Friendship with you is bliss
Friendship is speaking with your eyes
As if you have your own language
...

Regrets, regrets, regrets
When you were still breathing,
What was I thinking?
...

He loved her
Just not in the right way
He loved her
Just not enough for her to stay
...

Now that you're with her
I know she'll make you feel better
I know she'll send you good morning messages
And give you neck massages
...

You trust someone and
You feel the futility
Of giving yourself
...

Should I say thank you
For leaving the spot you were once in
Or should I hate you
For not filling it in
...

She was a girl born in ninety-six
A common lass she was
Her hair was often curly, always fixed
But her face almost full of zits
...

The universe conspired
The planets aligned

God has written
...

Salmon fish from the sea,
How satisfied you make me
Is it weird to love thee?
My ardor for you is extraordinary
...

Thank you, Lord for everyday
Though things don't always go my way
Thank you, Lord for my friends
Our interests and thoughts always blend
...
