200 CCs in the needlelong johns on with the record spinningThe liquid was in youand this was the end of our beginning1080 days you had known meflashed in your eyesI’m sure even thenYou regretted those tears you criedThe fever was upon youThe delusion & the fearThe hollow steelensuring this timeIt was real.2 empty bottles100 CCs eachrolling on the tabledevastating evidenceconfirming the resultsWith a quickened heartand darting eyesI’m sure even thenYou regretted those tears you cried.Cold December dawnThe sunlight overcomingthe stillnessStiff dead handswith only your cold heartclutched in themSterile sceneThe ends bitter meansI’m sure even thenYou regrettedThose tearsYou could not cry Written November 3rd, 2001 © on Nov 02 2001 03:46 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
