The Definition of "Numbers" (Part Two)

Refresh (read Part One)

Smells like rain

I love the rain

There’s nothing like the slow realization you’re not outside my house tonight

And you won’t be,

Ever again,

Because breaking up with me wasn’t the mistake,

Going out with me was

No one really gets it

Everyone calls you an asshole

And jumps to my side

Not that you aren’t one or anything-

But no one knows what you were to me

Were.

Because I don’t think I’ll ever let you mean that to me again

What a waste of emotions,

And you were the last person I thought I’d be suckered into

Every pretty word that came out of those chapped lips

(Below that big nose

Between those blue eyes)

Was like a secret

You always left me hanging

Wanting more

It was as if there was more,

Not just empty space

It was like finding a wall behind the door you’ve been dying to open

Door 1

Door 2, or

Door 3

And you’ve had your eye on Door 2 since you stepped on the stage

But once you open it unto that brick wall

You desperately wish you’d chosen Door 1 or Door 3

With the secret to being happy or in love behind it

Not some wall,

Cold from the winds blowing on the other side

Snow always made me think of you

Now it’s spring

Warm days with rain attached

I’ve always loved rain

No one’s managed to ruin it for me yet

Dancing under streetlights in a thunderstorm

So prefect the lightning turns the sky blue

Only I have no one to dance with

There’s no two ghosts dancing on a summer night with the windows rolled down

But she did die

But he lived on-

To go kill more,

I presume

Doesn’t matter now

He’s moved away from this place where his image stains the corner

Her ghost wanders the halls in search of something

She lost long before that night

Maybe it’s better to be dead

The body’s still there you know

The blood’s stopped

Her eyes are open

His tears,

Mixed with the blood,

Is caked on the floor

At least someone cried over her

She can hear it now

The rain falls gently around her ankles

As it rushed past down the sewer drain

Bare feet with painted toes

She’s never been so graceful

And you’ve only seen her fall

But the windows aren’t rolled down,

You don’t want the water ruining the seats

There’s no music as she dances alone

And that’s the way it should be

I was supposed to be pretty

I was supposed to have it all

And I just found out I’m beautiful
