for the you's and for the me's and for the us' and the them's this is a tale for everyone

A Tale about Us

This isn't a tale about you
it's about these times and these places we visit and tease with our presence
it's a story of woe and regret and joy and grace and all the indisputable in betweens,
it's about that tiny splinter in our hearts and the kiss hidden at the edge of our mouths.
For these times are so and we must achieve a satirical point of view to survive and
these places are so we must take the very high or very low ground for a worthy vantage point

but this isn't a story about you.
This isn't a story of how you make me smile and how you make me cry and how I loose myself in you
this is a tale about us, and every us there ever was and ever will be.
This is an ode to the times and places we ever have and ever will visit.

This isn't a romance this isn't an action and this isn't a horror or thriller
this is a piece of every genre sewn together with some seamless spots and some very rough spots
this is about that time I saw you laugh unhindered at that place watching that show,
this is about the place we go to relax and sigh in those times we can

and you can wonder if this is a lie,
and if this is actually all about you,
but you'll never know whichever way
so you'll have to believe me and trust in my truth
when I say it's about these times and these places we visit and tease with our presence
because really

this tale isn't about you.
