We met at the center
Of a car crash
I thought she was
The embodiment of
Jesus’ long lost daughter
She sewed up her mouth
And played so hard to get
It cracked my skull
But you can’t stop
A running bull
When it sees the red cheeks
Of a blushing girl

We floated on the waste
Of all that came before us
Going down a river out of control
Disguised as a calm stream
And we saw others there
Swimming steadily across the surface
All bloated and blue
I counted my lucky stars
That wasn’t me, yet
You shot them all down
And watched them burn out
Over the main horizon

We balanced on the top
Of a safety pin
But I never felt safe
As you teetered there
Laughing at the idea
That death was so close
You could touch it
And tell your other halves
What you had done

We played back and forth
Until it got something tiresome
Every game must have a winner
And a loser, I guess

Then she killed me
I haven’t been the same since
