One In A Million

She said its easy as pie

Just do it right and no one will know

But as I looked down

At his half sunken face

I thought to myself

Its easier said then done

And as I bent down

To grab his cold pale ankles

A funny thought came to my head

Just last month I saw him and said

You are one in a million

The only one in the world

But as secrets slowly creped out

And as gossip spread

One girl came before me

"You know what they say," she rasped

Her lips curled as she glared

"The good ones never stay long."

And as her sharp words cut through me

I tried to keep my bleeding heart together

I ran as fast as I could back to my home

Right back to my room

I was down in the dumps

Felt used and unloved

And as I heard his hand touch the handle

I stood in guard

And waited for his last words

"I will not have my heart broken again," said I

And at last, as I stood over his crimson body

She strolled right in

With that same evil smile

I felt cut and dried

And it was all my fault

With nothing I could do

And as I covered his stone body

With the earths damp dirt

I thought to myself

He was one in a million

The only one in the world
