• Wouldn’t matter

    If life had been another,

    Siphoned out for anger,

    Didn’t mean for despair,

    Just another clearing for the chaff

    Stole my wheat,

    Broke a leaf in two

    So you could only read one side,

    Not the words you knew.

    I asked for what you did,

    Didn’t mean for despair,

    Just simply happened.

    We all knew it was coming,

    Failing to comply,

    I’ll hide for a lifetime

    Avoid the shock and stun,

    But I’m the first one

    To shoot myself in the end.

    Can’t clean what’s mangled,

    Can’t change what’s not there,

    Can’t vanish what’s visible,

    Or rearrange what’s set in motion.

    Load up the escape,

    Break out the relapse,

    Multiple face six in a row,

    We wrote a eulogy

    On roulette and breathing.
