This isn't the way momma taught him
to treat a lady
but somehow the bird
got out of its cage
and here I am with the scars remain
waiting for the
sun to
rise again

The clock said 1
he came undone
The clock hit 2
he said "I don't love you"
The clock struck 3
and he struck me
The clock ticked 4
I was on the floor

Waiting for the light to come
so I can escape the darkness
(you surround me)
and everything I ever feared
it's inside me and I can't
get out of my skin
just yet

The clock said 1
he came undone
The clock hit 2
he said "I don't love you"
The clock struck 3
and he struck me
The clock ticked 4
I was on the floor

New beginnings
and tragic endings
what is it all for
sit here and stare until the day
when I can make you
go away

So sad....good poem though.

and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...

This hasn't happened to me, most of the things that come out of my head come out of the other end first.
