*Before you know it,
or perhaps after you know it, but too soon,
too soon all the same--
growing old--
the men are scarce.*
He took my hand in his,
his hand in mine we walked beside the water--
the moon reflects in the choppy waves
but light pollution dims the stars
and fogs his eyes.
*Sometimes you still get it from a bullet
imagining fishnets around your
ankles and your dress
on
the floor--*
He sings and
it is a beautiful thing when I think about
the past--
everything has led up to this
but this will soon be over, and over again--
*--pick up the pieces--
the lamp lies on the floor
and shards, the remains of an ******
still lingers in your pupils
but **** you never liked it that way, anyway.*
He tells me I'm scatterbrained.
I tell him I'm planning
*Why are you bleeding why are you bleeding why
are you
bleeding?*
something to write but there's no
It's over, it's over, and over again.
tension.
