i sat
i listened to song
of skillful/unskillful,
the right and the wrong.
i'm in love with a girl
who won't judge me on words.
i'm in love with a girl
who has blood on her shirt.

i sit and i listened.
a silent, sad cull.
i resent the approach of her lips as she bends.
the strength of her loss is lost on us all.
i'm in love with a girl who will die when she's young.

i get mad when the traffic light changes too soon.
if she's not puking blood she can see me by noon.

there's a girl, and i know
my love will outlive her.
i'm down on my knees.
i want her to purr.
i want to feel special in
those delicate eyes.
i can't handle knowing
that she can decide.

but there's blood on the carpet
and blood on her shirt.
i honestly couldn't tell you what's worse.

i wake in a girl's bed
(the girl that i love)
and the covers are torn up,
there's blood on the rug.

she's squirming in pain with a U of M mug.
slipped to her hip,
she is quick with replies.
i'm in love with a girl and i'm watching her die.

i have no contention for all i'm defending.
i'm in love with a girl who has blood on her shirt.
the sun didn't rise in the window this morning.
i'm unwilling to commend and command her to dirt.

it's just death
i keep screaming.
i yell at this girl.
it's not cause i'm angry
it's just cause it hurts.
i'm in love with a girl
with blood on her shirt.

and i see her in sonnets,
i speak her in prayers.
i cry when The Zombies sing
"She's Not There".

used to be our song
as it was for many.
i'm dying of death and my sorrow's uncanny.

no tears in my eyes.
the skies are as bright
as heaven has seen
and in hell they still might.
cause i've seen them too.
i'm broken and faded.

no chip on my shoulder.
my bones are serrated.

i'm in love with a girl that
i've barely dated.
cause she's dying and white-out (and black outs)
won't help me erase it.
