I met you by accident, that is
If you believe in accidents
Maybe it’s for a reason
Some complicated web of intrigue
Intelligently engineered
Perhaps I'm commandeered
By a god who wants only
To know herself

I met him that way too -
By accident
Walking down a crowded street
Floating on the magic carpet of youth
Can I *** a smoke off you?
Simple words said, and fun!
But then he wouldn't take No
As my answer
Fifteen years and a child
Later, passion became rage
When I remembered
The facts of the event
If you want to call it ****, well
That's a whole other story

The wedding I went to - oh!
I was pretty then, and lost
Your gaze up the length of my legs
You held off for so long
But god wanted a whole
Other story to
Entertain her
And here we are
Locked in something
Brazen - attempting fusion
The growth comes in spurts
Beyond all measure -- it hurts
Oh, it hurts

When I was eight or nine
There was something
A few moments of horror
Or was it bliss?
Forever amiss I'll be --
A whole other story
Told to god in my dreams
Healed when you listened
And touched me on the seams
Right where I'd fallen apart

Then I woke up whole
In L.A. on a sunny day
I walked the streets of Paris in the rain
I climbed the mountain of my youth
Felt the pain
I trudged through the snow
By the Lake
I sat with the ball of
God's yarn in my belly
Pulling the strings
Unravelling the things
The whole other stories
That broke me
And the ones I've yet
To tell
There is more to the story, there always is
