She belongs to someone else now,
Why give yourself high blood pressure?
She did not see you in her future,
Curtains! Take a bow!!
First, and only girlfriend I've ever loved, weds; and it ain't me.

My best friend was worried about her grades last week.
That was, until her car collided with another.
Her seatbelt not used, she was flung from the driver's seat.
Blood everywhere, her mother now in despair.
Mourning faces at her wake, no words helping the fact.

My best friend was worried about her grades last week.
That was, until her car collided with another.
Had she not had her seatbelt on, she may have died.
Now with only a busted lip,
she can go back to stressing about her grades.

remember that time
when i disintegrated into a
pile of dust
and was never seen again?

It is a door,
And you inside
It is a door
That opens from the outside.
You are waiting,
Maybe down and out
What is coming?
What is waiting out?
You cannot have a go,
It is too rude,
As all humans know
From their childhood.
And you are afraid,
What is coming next!
Walking along.
Picking up the pieces
of a shattered glass.
Cleaning up someone elses mess
Fixing something, that was not yours to fix.
Is it your burden to carry,
To cut yourself on the glass
To bleed for a problem that you did not create?
Will this generate resentment, hate?

I am not a problem,
I am not a burden,
I am no longer shattered,
Though I do have some rough edges.
I would never try to cut you,
Just be careful, Because I have been broken.
and it is easier to shatter, again, after once you have.
And my edges are sharp, when shattered
But, I guess, that never mattered,
You walked right through
a broken life
and did what you do
and took my strife
and replaced it with Truth.
Join me in this moment,
The time capsule of my mind.
When I said words that made you laugh,
The first night we met.

Come back with me
To the night that we were strangers,
With no intention of being anything else.
When every inch you leaned, made my stomach levitate.

Sit with me and reminisce;
When your hand brushed mine for the first time.

Back when you tried to be cute.
You picked up the whipped cream
To spray in my face,
but your depth perception was a bit off.
My nose only bled a little.

Come back to when it was innocent.
Before I got comfortable,
Before you got bored.

Back when you tried to be ****.
You lifted me up to the kitchen counter,
To kiss me, like in the movies,
And sat me on a full cup of water.
As the liquid soaked through my jeans
We couldn’t help but laugh.
  
When I was new, and you were new,
And neither of us knew where it would go.

Put your hand on my thigh and admit
That just because it did not work,
Does not mean it wasn’t love.
We always tried to fall
Together
But when we broke
We shattered like glass.
Apart,
Lost,
And damaged.
But mostly,
Alone.
Because we fell together,
We crashed apart.
I dont even
