    What I Do At One AM
    �Let�s go, Matthew.�

    I sigh. �I thought we covered this. My grandma calls me Matthew. My high school principal called me Matthew. Unless you want to be associated with either of them -- lay off the Matthew.�

    His eyes twinkle mischievously. �I�d rather lay *on* the Matthew if I could...� He wraps an arm around my waist, but I swat it away.

    �The only thing you�ll be laying on is your mattress if you call me that name one more time.�


    I think I'm past the point of no return. Sigh.

    Breaking Point (by Matt Caplan)
    Standing there before you
    I’m speechless to the core
    Shocked like a little child
    Who doesn’t know what he wants to do
    When he gets older, when he grows up
    So maybe I’ll ignore you
    Or steal a sideward stare
    Stop for a little while
    And never know what I’m gonna do
    When it gets colder, when it slows up
    And I was not into being silent
    I was only imagining
    I was not into sleeping in these arms
    Did I wake you up
    Did I bring you down
    Did I wake you up
    Cuz I’m only an hour past my breaking point
    And I built a prison for you
    Here inside my brain
    A bed for a smile
    First I breathe from the
    Wound of your head on my shoulder
    That’s all life
    And I was not into being silent
    I was only imagining
    I was not into sleeping in these arms
    Did I wake you up
    Did I bring you down
    Did I wake you up
    Cuz I’m only an hour past my breaking point
    And I was not into keeping secrets
    I was only imagining
    I was not into sinking down this far
    Did I wake you up
    Did I bring you down
    Did I wake you up
    Cuz I’m only an hour past my breaking point
    An hour past my breaking point

    (Just read those lyrics and *try* to tell me it's not about Joshua... just try... God. The fic ideas.)

    Scarred (by Joshua Kobak)
    Through the woods, beyond the lake
    Slither streams, ravines where trees bend and ache
    Withered by carvings, scarring their nape
    Scarring and starving
    What was writ was right to be
    Pardon this, I’ve altered three
    The third the tree, and the second my lover, the first is me
    Scarred worse than the tree
    Winter was so cold this year
    After I had carved her love disappeared
    Frozen and starving, scarring appeared
    After my carving
    What was writ was right to be
    Pardon this, I’ve altered three
    The third the tree, and the second my lover, the first is me
    Scarred worse than the tree
    I have said, she’s leaving my dear, what caused this absence
    She replied demeaning and lashing out sarcastically,
    “If I were to tell you, you’d scrawl it on a tree”
    As I write into the verse
    I can see I’ve fallen victim to curse
    From nature’s mother I must reverse
    I must recover
    What was writ was right to be
    Pardon this, I’ve altered three
    The third the tree, and the second my lover, the first is me
    Scarred worse than the tree

    (i'm sure i got some of the lyrics wrong... this is just what I heard from the MP3 I have...)

    i'll remember
    i’ll remember

    the three am grocery store runs
              when you decided you just
              couldn’t wait six more hours
         for a bowl of cereal
    and i wandered sleepily down
              the dimly lit aisles
         in my pajamas
         you grinned and said “score!”
              when you found the last box
                   of count chocula

    a tug on my blanket
              the lights flickered on
         i squinted up at your excited face
         as you scrambled for your
              guitar to show me the song
                   you’d just written
         (in your sleep)
    and i tried to look sympathetic
              when, crestfallen
         you found that you
              couldn’t remember the dream

    sharing a microphone
              (even when we could have used two)
         the secret smile in your eyes
              meant only for me
         the audience snapped our picture
         but we hardly noticed
              except for a vague idea
                   that the flashes were
              like fireworks
    and i thought that was fitting

    the bars in each town we came to
              you always had too many drinks
              but i wore on my neck
                   an amethyst
              you gave to me
    and i walked you back to the hotel
         the door still hung open as your
              lips pressed hungrily
              against mine
         your tongue liquor-soaked
              and so sweet

    nights drunken with passion
              pulling clumsily at clothes
         every movement so frantic
              as though you were afraid
                   i might disappear
    and i kissed the sweat from your temples
              our sighs in harmony
              against the rhythm of bedsprings
         and an hour later
                   finally drifting to sleep

    together.

    From a 'Rentboard Drinking Game ':

    -- Take a shot whenever M/R ((Mark/Roger, for my non-Rent friends who may be reading this)) is brought up in any context.
       ...Take another TWO if it's brought up originally by Alison.
    Take a shot if Alison veers an innocent conversation into the world of slash or M/R.

    Am I really that predictable? Yes...
