Ode To Disaster
Here is an ode to disaster
Because there’s always that feeling left after
The chaos and savagery
Here’s a salute to whatever
Because it’s never ever better
Branded and shameful
This dreaded scarlet letter
Here’s a farewell to tomorrow
Because I’ve drowned in my sorrow
And there’s only dust to reclaim
Here’s three wishes
I wish you were different
I wish you were smarter
And last but not least
I wished you love harder
Here’s a cup full of blood
I seem to have died from your love
You buried my name and my life
After you dragged it through the mud
Here’s a happy ever after
Nope it’s never happy after
Because all that is left
Is an ode to disaster
