Excerpts From Various Notes Strewn Around The Bedroom Of April Connolly, Feb. 24 1997
Why I should leave...
No
Why I'm leaving you
For him
Well let's see here...
Well, let's see
Where should I
Begin?
Every night you get annihilated with all your friends
And every night I drink alone until you stumble in the morning sun
It's a fuck and run
I know see it all I see it in the eyes of those girls
Those fucking girls they smile and nod
But never a single word
I'm just in the way
I'm the ball and chain
You're the jailbird chirping how
Hard life is in the cage
And how hard it is waking up next to me...
Well, you've dug this hole
Come on and fill me up
When you said you loved me
I knew I was getting fucked
You said you'd never let go
All that stopped
You used to turn me on, now we're just getting off
That's why I'm leaving you
[And the drunken erratic response from April's ex-boyfriend Trevor Post, upon finding said various notes:]
You really really think that guy is gonna make it alright?
Since you told me you could never be in love with another man
Oh but this one is it!
But I remember when we met we knew that it was the end
Yeah I remember, I remember, I remember
All those things
Not everything
Summer haircuts
Dollar movies
We used to sneak a six-pack in your bag
And wait for a girl to scream or a car to crash
So we could crack open our cans
And the time you shaved my head in the front yard
A passerby stopped to take a picture
We ended up in the paper
And now you wanna leave
Well maybe I forgot a couple things
It doesn't mean I don't remember how it feels
When you're lying naked next to me
Valentine
I want to feel your hips pressed up against mine
We'll push into each other
Love's alive
It might be fleeting but it's ours, and it's tonight
So won't you reconsider
Love's lost lives
You might be lonely
But I'm still by your side
You might have to leave
But not tonight
