I was just sitting on the grey couch While he sat across from me with a pen and paper And we were laughing Laughing about how I never really had to watch someone slowly die Because everyone I've cared about that's passed Was shot point blank Close range And my therapist giggled As the morbid humor rushed out of me And it kind of just echoed through the small dimly lit room
Until I started to scream Crying hysterically He just looked at me slowly Realizing the moment had quickly passed And turned into a very visceral flashback
He's trying to talk me down but all I could see Was the footage looping over and over again In my head Why was he holding a knife yelling 'dont shoot' Why the **** was he holding a knife?
So no, I don't really want to talk about it. I just want to lie here and focus on the pressure you're applying to my chest While you hold me Wrap your arms around me So I can finally fall asleep.
I think it was August. The leaves we're starting to fall but it was hot outside. I think he was on coke but he still shouldn't have died.
