How to Save a Life

*tis the season to be jolly.. fa lalala la-lala lala....*

*cough cough*... who the heck am i kiddin... do i have a reason to be jolly??
well... i do have my health.. amen to that.. I do have a job.. I've got my family and i've got my friends... I'm not physically or mentally challenged (altho some my disagree) *gives a look to certain ppl around the room*
so u ask me why i am so freakin miserable... eh? well it wudnt b much fun to just say it now wud it..

actually I'm just too damn lazy to sit here and type the "soap opera" life that i have... they say there is always light at the end of a dark tunnel... that the darkest hour is that before the dawn... its always been one of my fav sayings... but I'm havin such a hard time waiting for that dawn... things just keep getting darker and darker.. and i keep tellin myself... i'll see the crack of dawn soon... just hold on... keep ur faith... keep believing.. be strong.. and then i sit there in the dark... complete darkness... i duno which way to go... afraid of what i'll bump into.. feeling so uneasy in the room.. its soo quiet.. i start slowly moving forward.. thinkin.. anywhere is better than this... that mayb in some place not far.. there mayb a little light.. a glimmer of a candle... just a little light.. its all i ask for... as i keep seeking the light... i cant help but start to feel a tiny feeling building up inside me.. that feeling that i hate so much.. that feeling which i know too well... somthin that destroys all sanity... that can make a person mad... ( no i dont mean angry mad.. i mean crazy mad )
.... that one... all time... enemy of man kind... Panic... u know its coming... u feel it each time u take a breath.. u try to calm ur self by taking slow breaths and tryin not to think about bein stuck in this bloody darkness the rest of ur life... shud i run ...? frantically seeking any light?? or shud i stay here... telling myself to relax... to sink deep into my music... waiting for that final dark hour of mine...
that crack of dawn.. that i know will come.

my music... my soul... my savior.. my light.. from the ever so dark room...



(How to Save a Life.. by the fray) awesome song.. awesome lyrics..

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life..

AphroditeShari said...

DeVille said...

dude you've really got some taste for music.:> i bet ur hooked to grey's anatomy, are you?:>

AphroditeShari said...

haha.. thanx!! I'm glad atleast ONE person out there has said that I've got a taste for music!! and has said it OUT LOUD too!! XD

nah, I'm not hooked on grey's anatomy.. i dont watch much tv these days.. I've become somewhat obsessed with making memories with the ppl i care about.. (long story) and sitting there watching TV.. doesnt do it for me anymore. I'm sure i am not makin any sense at all.. lol

DeVille said...

YOU are gonna be a living mystery for me. first, the potatoes...now obsession in making long memories?!?:> hehehe.

AphroditeShari said...

hehe... I'm gona be a living mystery? i thought i already was :P hehe..

yea but seriously... what is the ONE thing that a person can have that other ppl cant take away from u? that if u lost ur home in a fire and became poor you wud still have?? something so strong that if u close ur eyes and think about it.. it can make u as happy as a chipmunk or cry like a dove :P MEMORIES!!!

I wud rather spend my money, time and effort with ppl who i want to make memories and special moments with... than to go out and buy a silly pair of shoes or a pair of jeans that will get torn and i wud have to replace within a couple of years. Memories... cant be replaced.. they cant be taken away.. and are more precious than anything in this world. what makes it so special.?? is that each person has their OWN memories that they keep close to their heart.. yes.. I'm babbling now.. hehe.. :D

DeVille said...

you are...:>

why'd u use that term? as happy as chipmunks, cry like a dove? i like it.

keep on babbling, dont worry u make sense.:>

AphroditeShari said...

hehe... well its nice to be a mystery!! *evil laugh* lol

why did i use that term.. i duno it just came to mind.. lol.. chipmunks seem to be so happy.. running around chattering to themselves and just so darn hyper and cute!!! Doves.. well they always sound like they are crying.. plus after i said it.. lol.. i thought of princes song (when doves cry) hehehe!! i love that song.

booyaa!! I've been encouraged to babble!! :D lol

DeVille said...

i totally agree on the 'mystery' thing.

so the line u used is originally urs? i am asking permission to use it in the book i am writing. hope u dont mind.

is the video of the song "when doves cry" about an arab girl who planned on being a suicide bomber? i cant seem to remember the title of that song.

am i the first with the encouragement? well its their loss.:>

AphroditeShari said...

yes.. that line is mine.. i think... lol.. i dont believe I've ever heard of it before.. lol.. :) yes.. u can use it.. as long as i get the credit :D

hmm... i really dont know about the video for that song... i dont believe I've ever seen it so i cant tell u.

lol.. ur also the first (xcluding my heaven) to say that its ppl loss to not encourage me to babble.. LOL

DeVille said...

so u had ur first twice?:>

AphroditeShari said...

loool.. I'm special!! i get to have firsts twice .. lol
well.. when its someone ur really close to and care about each other deeply... its diff then when someone who barely knows u says it :P

DeVille said...

oh ok. are u sure ur dont just have the same case as of drew barrymore in the movie 50 first date?:> kidding.

AphroditeShari said...

hahaha... :D gosh i cant imagine havin a life like that.. :( she was lucky to have that guy in her life..

DeVille said...

the guy with an egg-shaped head, who's stupid enough to have such patience and waste his time trying to let her remember everything her brain refuses to remember? i must admit, craziness seems to be extra-romantic.:>

AphroditeShari said...

well... he must truly love her alot to be goin thru all that... every day of their lives together...

if only it were true... that guys like that xhisted

DeVille said...

they do exist...i mean i know a coupla people who have egg-shaped heads!:> lol

AphroditeShari said...

hahaha... i know a few guys like that.. but how many can u find that are egg-headed AND so giving...

DeVille said...

OH so you were looking for the 'giving'!:> well this is exactly why there's a big difference between movies and real-life.

AphroditeShari said...

hence the reason i said... 'if only it were true.. that guys like that existed' :P

DeVille said...

but hey, dont lose hope. they might...:>

AphroditeShari said...

i doubt it.. :P
we live in the REAL world..

DeVille said...

should i be convincing you? or are u never gonna be convinced anyway? it could save a lotta time and effort you know.:>

AphroditeShari said...

ok.. its not like I'm unable to be convinced... its just i need a good reason to be convinced.. :P

DeVille said...

maybe its because you wish so much that your 'heaven' was like him? good enough reason? hope i dont struck a nerve...:>

AphroditeShari said...

hmmm..... my 'heaven' well.. personality wise.. my heaven is better.. :P but just the part where that guy wud be willing to do ALL that just for her.. to go through the same thing and to put up with her not being able to remember... ( its very hard ).. its very romantic.. and i doubt someone with that ability exists... even girls.. i dont think ANY girl cud do that.. i duno.. i mean.. yea mayb if u loved a person enough.. but if she's got such a bad memory.. how are u able to fall in love with her and build a relationship when she keeps forgetting a relationship is even there? LOL... I'm gettin way too deep into this..lol

DeVille said...

i cant believe i cant think of somethin else to say...:>lol

AphroditeShari said...

hahahahaha... :D :D :D
