Madmad Love
Oh, I was so mad over you
just crazy in love
was that what it was?
should love make you mad?
make you crazy?
there was no crime I wouldn't commit
to keep it easier for you to stay
than leave
or quit me
I left myself somewhere way in the back
covered in dust, used and forgotten
and played out to you someone
I'd hate if I met
it was a converge of forces
perfect in their destruction
lost, loser girl with cash and a vice
slammed back to right where she did start
no one welcomed her return and
gossip hummed over the lines
like angry bees
in the hive
and he...
oh, he....
well, he
was a rock star in a
bad, bland rock band something
so exciting caught me up
in a sticky
delicious
mess!
and funny!
oh, so, funny...
and it felt so, so, so good
to remember a laugh again
it was a dream tied up in
a nightmare box
an amazing
maze
I kept my eyes so tightly closed
and dared hardly breathe and
felt this avalanche of moments
a monumental mudslide slashing and
crashing
blinded and choking it was suddenly,
suddenly, all silent...
my chest compressed
to the back of,
well, to the back of my....
of, my, spine.....
and in an instant
you were gone
2000 miles away with just a wave
my world
from funny terror
to the empty sound of my
own silent
screams
silent.....
screams
pondering panic
no!
not again.....
tossed out....
run over....
doors slamming at midnight
a night so dark I felt dipped
into
a
well
of
old ink....
500 or more days blasted
into a dusty past
where I came face
to
face,
with...myself
oh.....
I was so..
so...mad
over you
