Never could I fall in love
and not fall for another,
I would kiss a ******* the mouth,
but end up with her mother.

Never could I reach a smile
without finding a splinter,
I would stretch out into the sun,
but still curse the coming winter.

Never could I have a drink
and leave it all at that,
I'd drink until the new day breaks,
until everything fell flat.

Never could I hear a song
without thinking of the weather,
I'd hear the rain in deep sleep dream,
until falling like a feather.

Never could I write to you
and report without complaining,
I would cry for the price of air
and all the illness I was feigning.

Never could I enter the room
and fill up all the doorway,
I would fall at the feet of life
and always hide myself away.
