Pow!

I sit here and I wait,

While I contemplate,

The meaning of things,

All things alive,

The need to strive,

The heartache and pain,

That calls my name,

While I just try to get by,

On a smile and whim,

On an old church hymn,

Played in my head,

Again and again,

Wandering aimlessly,

Looking for you,

Where did you go?

What did you do?

Did you break my heart,

While I wasn't looking?

It was you who took,

The last fucking cookie,

I love you, you know,

This isn't your fault,

We were already fucked,

The devil already called,

Our number in,

Because we haven't done much,

Been fucking around,

Lazy and such,

Who wants to live this,

All pissed off and broke,

Who are we kidding,

It's a fucking joke,

To think that this way,

Is some sort of success,

I needed to get this,

All off my chest,

So I just sit her and type,

To the sounds of zen,

I don't know how,

And I don't when,

Things turned so sour,

Between us two,

It is what it is,

Even if blue,

Black and purple,

All bust up and fucked,

Who would've thunk?

That our ship would be,

So utterly sunk?

I don't know when,

And I don't know how,

But pretty soon,

Shit's gonna go POW!

And explode in our face,

And every fucking where,

Down to the bone,

This knife will cut,

And it's all gonna change,

No need to front.

About the Creator

Teresa Nash

I have something to accomplish in this life... I'm still not clear on exactly WHAT that is... But I'm searching high and low for whatever I'm supposed to find...
