how did you get in here;
pulled the trigger
that terrible bullet
killing my guts
the shot's been like
sucking good cigarettes
or pouring my heart t'you
time and
again.
together in a rut
you've been wasting my time
left your sorrow
in my ruined desperation
got me mind-trapped
in your hell
of emotions
please fade
away.
and before she dies, she says
'tough it out'
and then she's gone.
