and as you yank the steel out of my side
the crimson flows out and down
the crystal salty liquid has already begun sprouting in my eyes and falling down my cheeks
a mark in my kidney that screams betrayal
then you do a 180 degree turn
a complete about face
and march away
as though youd won
i lay there on the cold wet pavement
the rain is washing it all away
thank God for the rain
then i close my eyes
and i count to ten
my day is over
but how it began
is oh so simple
everyone knows the story
you know the one
i came home from work a little early
and i ended up lying on the cold wet pavement
at a temperature far colder than alive
for when i opened my bedroom door
who did await me?
except my lover
and his lover
yes it is a tale told time and time again
but it never gets old because it never goes away
why couldnt you just be faithful??
i then became irate
you were scared
she was scared
a young thing
funny how id suspected it
so i packed myself a present
and placed it in my purse that morning
a lovely little revolver it was
and the art i made on the headboard when i pulled the trigger relentlessly
if you had just kept your whole self inside your pants
then no one would have had to witness my masterpiece
but in a cynical way
i enjoyed it
it spelled the end
the end of my suspecting
and it spelled confirmation
i was not crazy
i was right
you jolted out of the bed after me
i ran outside into the pouring wet rain
i stopped under the streetlight
it was so expository
and that was what i had hoped for
i was proud of what i had done
i was a step ahead of you
finally you plundered out of the door
you were preparing yourself for revenge
you darted at me
and placed a knife into my side
but my heart felt the pain
you looked at me through rabbit eyes
and asked me why?
my lips said i love you
your lips said you loved her
and as you yanked the steel out of my side
the crimson flowed out and down
the crystal salty liquid had already begun sprouting in my eyes and falling down my cheeks
a mark in my kidney that screamed betrayal
then you did a 180 degree turn
a complete about face
and marched away
as though youd won
i laid there on the cold wet pavement
the rain was washing it all away
thank God for the rain
i layed in the streetlight
it had exposed everything
thank God for exposure
thank God for seclusion
then i closed my eyes
and i counted to ten
my day was over
never to start again...
