tried anything

Nov

2009

what we had should have been a crime

their understanding of our standing

our history, its richness masking the truest

wealth that we shared, equally

until my dear you started to fear

and count the ways in which

my phase of delirium would

cause you to switch

coarse of(f) course

our tracks and trains moving out of sync

and i thought we could manage

but we kept skirting the brink

and you took advantage

of all those hefty doses

her little pills

cruel intentions to get you

all to herself

lonely is as lonely does

misery loves company

and she looks good in a pair

lest the debt be forgotten

we'll both move on

and you'll have razed

your opportunities well

and secretly i'll wonder if i

could should or would

have tried

anything
