Shower Sex

I used to love a girl.
Arranged my life around her world
just to make the pieces fit
the way I intended.
Our fingers locked
as soon as our eyes met.
I promised that day
I would never forget.

But you ran
faster
than I could
have lead.
And your veins
ran dryer
than mine could
have bled.
They saved
my life
and left you
behind!

My brain was left seizing.
I couldn't stop believing if I tried.
And all the centuries in the history of mankind
wasn't enough time
to let the stars align.
"It happens all the time," they tell me.

Daydream
Nightmare
Coma
Sickness
Help me
Save me
Mommy
Dearest
I flew
as fast
as my heart
could land!
I just wasn't enough.
It was never enough, no!

You said,
"Not now."
I kept
you around.
I screamed.
Leave me!
I'm fine,
dying.
Get out.
Don't go.
Lights off,
go home.
Was I ever enough?
I just couldn't keep up, no.
I just can't do enough.
Leave me suffering!

Five little numbers running through my head,
3 got ahead of me, 8 shot dead.


Four little birdies native to the season,
Four birdies flew away, one without a reason.


Three little words carry quite a heavy meaning,
One in particular named after a feeling.


Two little children, seventeen and twenty-one,
One stuck in school daze, the other's life's just begun.


One little chamber loaded with one bullet,
Seventeen, the victim to twenty-one, who pulled it.
