Sorry about last week That wasn't meant for you Tar escapes from between my teeth and lands at unsuspecting feet It's a slow drip, you understand? That wasn't meant for you, It just took so long to come out- you happened to be there Passing a car wreck on the turnpike- You're the wreck and I am doubling the speed limit to his house A note was sent: "Wait on the corner of Sumac and Freeland." I had hoped to be intercepted, Perhaps my tar would drown the intended instead of the incidental- But upon receiving my note, He placed it in his shoebox labeled "demons from the past" He was not there waiting for me, And so the grandest "I love you" I could muster, has stained the wrong shoes
