The Couch Doesn'T Pull Out
Walking a plank into a miserable ocean of loneliness
Not knowing how to feel the earth beneath my feet
The learning process was long and unstable
I couldn’t hear the voices of reason
My conscience not capable of such logic
You told me not to fear
You taught me how bleed
I pitter pattered throughout your heart without doubt
You pitter pattered to another’s
Sadly caught, you tried redemption
I sought revenge
Killing myself by allowing your presence
Slowly pulling the trigger held to my head
Easing into the gunshot
Like valium filling my filthy mind
Cupid’s arrow surely missed the mark
You can’t stay here tonight
My arms tight with stroke
Jesus surely would not allow such madness
Religious free and full of angst
Whether drowning in the ocean or absorbing the shot
Worthiness shall only be measured by my heart.
