    -Familiar Tears-

    The tears are falling down my face
    Onto my pillow I can see the stains of old memories
    Seeing you and all the things you did
    Why did you say that?
    Then you ask why I cry?
    What sets me off like this, I don't know
    Let's think of all the things I did
    Mistakes you made
    Then YOU tell ME
    Is this how you intended me to be?
    Is this how we're going to live our lives?
    Endless wars and killing
    Yelling and false accusing
    What else is there to do but cry?
    Dried tears on my face are replaced with new scars and razorblade cuts that bleed red
    You can't save me now...can you?
    You put me here, now take me out
    I never did anything to deserve this
    I needed you so bad, and you made me cry
    Sickening thoughts resound in my head
    Why am I thinking of this? Of you?
    Why am I caring so much?
    Now I remember
    Your stickey sweet attitude
    Your flirtatious smile and sly manner
    If I had only known 3 weeks ago that i'd be crying now
    You'd be the one alone in need of help
    And I wouldn't be crying
    My pillow wouldn't be stained with your memory
    You'd be gone
    And I'd be fine

    Thanks, Derek!

    My friend Nicole and I took the poem and made it a song, here it is.

    Familiar Tears
    The tears are falling down my face
    Onto my pillow I can see the stains of old memories
    Seeing you and all the things you did
    Why did you say that?
    Then you ask why I cry?
    What sets me off like this, I don't know
    Let's think of all the things I did
    Mistakes you made
    Then YOU tell ME

    Chorus
    What can I do now?
    Is this how you intended me to be?
    Crying on my bed
    With my face buried in a tear stained pillow
    Is this how we're going to live our lives?
    With false accusations and lies?
    Endless wars and killing
    Yelling and false accusing
    I cannot take this we have both inflicted on ourselves

    What else is there to do but cry?
    Dried tears on my face are replaced with new scars and razorblade cuts that bleed red
    You can't save me now...can you? Don’t be ashamed 'cause no one can
    You put me here, now take me out (let me be)
    I never did anything to deserve this (so leave me alone)
    I needed you so bad, and you made me cry (so let me go)
    Sickening thoughts resound in my head (they play over and over again)
    Why am I thinking of this? Of you? (It’s wrong and I know it)
    Why am I caring so much? (I question my actions so much)

    Chorus
    What can I do now?
    Is this how you intended me to be?
    Crying on my bed
    With my face buried in a tear stained pillow
    Is this how we're going to live our lives?
    With false accusations and lies?
    Endless wars and killing
    Yelling and false accusing
    I cannot take this we have both inflicted on ourselves

    Now I remember
    Your sticky sweet attitude
    Your flirtatious smile and sly manner
    If I had only known 3 weeks ago that I’d be crying now
    You'd be the one alone in need of help
    And I wouldn't be crying
    My pillow wouldn't be stained with your memory
    You'd be gone
    And I’d be fine

    Now I remember
    (Try to remember, let’s try to remember)
    Your sticky sweet attitude
    (What you said to me)
    Your flirtatious smile and sly manner
    (You did it on purpose)
    If I had only known 3 weeks ago that I’d be crying now
    (I’d be crying...I’d be crying)
    You'd be the one alone in need of help
    (I’d be better off than now)
    And I wouldn't be crying
    (I’d be better off than now)
    (I’d be better off than now)
    My pillow wouldn't be stained with your memory
    (I’d be better off than now)
    You'd be gone
    (I can do better than this)
    And I’d be fine
    (Let me GO)

    And me of Lynn. Damn, this is a good one to use on her..... She got dumped again the other day, and came crying to me again...of course, she'd never consider me again, and I know that, so I just faked being at work and bailed. Screw that...
