Nice Girls Finish Last

It's the way you breathe; the way you sleep;
It's the way you stare at me.
It's the way you sigh; the way you cry;
It's what nourishes me inside.

The way you smile; the way you laugh;
The way you act with me.
The way you talk; the way you walk;
It's the way you keep me alive.

It's how you care; it's how you don't;
It's how you don't back down.
It's how you fight; how hard you bite;
It's how you make me stand tall.

How you try; how you don't lose face;
How you speak to me.
How you win; how you don't give in;
It's how you make me smile.

It's when I cry; it's when I scream;
It's when I yell at all.
It's when I run; when I hold the gun;
That's when I think of you.

When I hide away; when I lose faith;
when I can't seem to smile.
When I try to leave; when I can't breathe;
That's when you're there for me.

It's who you are; it's who I am;
It's who you think I am.
It's who you want; it's who I want;
It's who I want to be.

I wrote this one in August of 2006...so a year ago. I was just re-reading some of my previous works and this one stuck out as still having a strong meaning to me. Therefore...le postage.
