Duel

our guns are drawn
but neither
will shoot.
i just can't bear
to have this die
at my hands.

i'm ready
to take you out.
my aim
is pointed straight
at you.
but i can't seem
to pull
the fucking trigger.

hey cowboy,
do you have the balls
to end it
when it's over.
are you scared
to hurt me
or scared
it might hurt you.
because you know
i'll fire back
comebacks
of what you
did wrong.

but i'm a coward
shaking
in my own skin.
waiting for you
to ruin what we have
because maybe
part of me wants this
to live.

what's so wrong
in walking away
from this duel.
i might not want to
take you out
as much as you do me.
i'm not strong enough
to leave this
dead
but i'm scared
you'll kill me
if i stay.

sharpshooter,
i've dropped my weapon.
i'll take your gun
to my mouth.

so
shoot.

Loving Alex

my poor pablo
he loves her so
wherever she leads
he's sure to follow
from the moment he wakes
till the time he sleeps
he's all about alex
for her he weeps
she's all he needs
he breathes her in
he eats/sleeps alex.
forget oxygen!
pitiful desperation
will never get his girl
still he feels a lil dirt
will help him get his pearl
all his friends are sick
of hearing alex tales
efforts to shut him up
every time will fail
so all alone he'll moan
and whine and wait and rage
for who can save a prisoner
who's locked in his own cage

wait one day he'll snap
i'm sure he'll take his life
when he'll realize
she'll never be his wife
all his bloody love
will spill all on the floor
she sits at home and thinks "thank god
he won't call anymore"
her life goes on without him
although his will end
she'll get over it tomorrow
she'll find a new boyfriend
thus is the tragic end
of this tale of woe
of a beauty named alex
and a fool named pablo
