THE ME AND YOU TRILOGY

by Michelle Lynn Robinette ©

1996-1999

failed to make it to the show

1996

I gave in long ago.

to be more what they wanted

i failed so horribly

then failed at being me

what was i suppose to do?

am i what i need?

was he what i need?

failed all of my needs

there's no other just like me

but please let there be

now I am all alone

failed to make to the show

what was I suppose to do?

1998

lying around

feeling sorry for myself

things have become tired

I don't know what to think about at all

and there i was

so high and double laced

so full of gin i can't think just straight

and there i was

lying half dead on the floor

i feel your hands on me

and there you were

to save me just as late

delivering me from this place

you had come just to late

i just don't know how to stop the train

he'll make it go away

protect me from the people, make them go away

protect me from this place.

reprisal of another day

1999

lately I can't seem to sleep

with all the highway war

and the unsaid silent poetry

and i could give you my life

but please bring me home into the night

and i faced the fathoms in your deed

despite the world in its sleep

in everything and nothing you ever do

despite it all i still believe you

and saw me there

and i was on my way

i hit you hard

and for the first time i could say

i want to see you in my pain

and i faced the fathoms in your deep

despite the world in its sleep

in everything and nothing you ever do

despite it all i can't believe you
