we followed your hypothesis,
but
something just won't mix

listen to you talk..
I hear nothing
but an endless lecture

Add you,
subtract time,
subtract sanity...

what have I got left?
Science is confusing,
And I'm no scientist

This experiment's gone horribly wrong,
things aren't adding up.

my head tells me to move on:
Start over,
rewind,
undo..there's a million ways to say it,
no way to do it.

I lay awake and wonder
were we went wrong.
And it hits me

the formula for happiness-
subtract you,
add me:
now we're getting somewhere.

Sorry-
chemistry just aint my thing

I really liked these lines... Another excellent poem, Liz.
