Giving one the benefit of the doubt 
Is trusting what he says or talks about.

Placing Words Together

And i want to tell you something's

Each time a though comes around

But i can't think where to begin

Because i find myself as wooden
as ten branches on a tree

And if the whole world was watching

I would still fail to be

Anything other than a means to
a shell

Searching for a tell to foretell
a calling

Friday's child on monday morning

As

Placing Bets

PLACING BETS

restless impatient
mistakes  
cold regrets of new
intakes
it takes one night too
long
placing bets high and
strong

holding wild cards too
close
wrecks  those we love 
most

shut up sit down first class let down

dark velvet midnight
talker
filthy clay grey alley
stalker
burning flames fast fuel
pace
day late ultimate
disgrace

shut up sit down first class let down

getting ready as rains fall
heavy
let it fall
fall
fall
once again
unsteady
placing bets
no

Placing You First

I placed you first,

Even though you knew not.

For it was better done than said;

That it was truly from my heart.

 

And so I gave them up

I gave it all up for good

Left my mind heated from thoughts

As I lain every night to sleep

 

Thoughts so deep, I could not understand;

Whether I was going mad,

When I

Placing the Blame

Your cold and windy love
fit once like a glove
now you out and about
With what's his name

Your cold and selfish love
You once appeared to me
as an angel from above
Now we've given up on us

Your cold self-serving love
It smothers us to a dismal mist
your now latching on to my life 
like an awful painful cist.

Well I guess
