The feeling you needed to close your eyes
Hers closed already
Speeding past a stop sign
The drink that bought her company
Stayed in the bloodstream for months
Pushed through your heart and out again
Much less time than money spent
If a picture’s worth a thousand words
A million couldn’t explain her
Your friend said something
A bar away from town was the scene
Set the story you denied
But asked anyway
She simply shrugged and laughed
A lacerating joke
Knew you’d never really leave
A patient addicted to treating disease
If a picture’s worth a thousand words
A million couldn’t explain her
And you stayed in the game ‘til the end
Hoping with time you could make amends
Late drama phone calls, you answered desperately
Until they stopped coming
Before she crawled out of town
She had to stop by and let you down
To see you with your tail between your legs
Just one last time to watch you beg
If a picture’s worth a thousand words
A million couldn’t explain her
The angel that your mind created
The one that left you desecrated
Sign my guestbook and win a free pass.
