This is part of one of my favourite songs of all time. It's called "Paper Bag" by Fiona Apple. These are just the parts that I liked. I bolded my favourites, but you need everything to get the whole effect of the song. Some parts I like more than others. But I needed to post it because I'M STUCK IN ANOTHER POETRY RUT AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!

I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
To pray on,
Or wish on,
Or something like that.

I was having a sweet fix
Of a daydream of a boy
Who, in reality I knew
Was hopeless to be had
But then the
Dove of hope
Began it's downward slope
And I believed for a moment that
My chances were
Approaching to be grabbed.
But as it came down near,
So did a weary tear.
I thought it was a bird
But it was just a paper bag.


And then there's some chorus-y bits and then...


And I went crazy again today
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for
A little hope.
Baby said he couldn't stay
Wouldn't put his lips to mine
A fail to kiss is a fail to cope.
I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good.
Don't feel justified"
Come on, put a little love
here in my void.
He said, "It's all in your head.
I said, "So's everything."
But he didn't get it.

I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy.


I think it's lovely. Her writing is so perfect. I want to write like that. Exactly like that. Aaaaaaagh!.

In other news:My archives aren't working, or, they weren't the last time I checked, and that bothered me because whenever I run out of space everything that I wrote will simply vanish and I don't want it to.
