Full Title: When You Are In The Room (and i wish to vomit)

For Cody
He is like a slot machine
where you put so much in and never get much back.

"how could you do nothing and say, i'm doing my best
how could you take almost everything and then come back for the rest
how could you beg me to stay, reach out your hands and plead
and then pack up your eyes and run away as soon as i agreed

it just all slips away so slowly, you don't even notice till you've lost a lot
i've been like one of those zombies in vegas pouring quarters into a slot
and now i'm tired and i am broke and i feel stupid and i feel used
and i'm at the end of my little rope and i am swinging back and forth about you"
~Ani Difranco 'Done Wrong' because she says everything :)

Wow...

That was just pure emotion and stapled heartbeats and honesty molded into a puddle-wonderful poem.

Wow.. I can imagine how starry this poem would sound if it was actually heard. :)

You did a great job on capturing what piles upon piles of women would have said if they only could put all those barrels full of emotion into words.

And you ended it all in a nifty swipe of that still resonates in my head long after it was read.

So I thought I'd give you a few words.

There is someone out there for you, somewhere. Maybe he's rolling around in the hay or jolting up and down on a trampoline with someone else -- but not as good as you'll be. You just have to wait your turn. He's just finding out who to contrast you against.

Never ever stop writing. I mean it. :hug:
