it hits me
|
frequently
|
like lights
|
at makeout parties
|
slow burning
|
inside out
|
jack o lantern
|
smashed and thrown out
|
maybe i
|
ask for it
|
like lightning
|
rods in torrents
|
maybe you'll
|
forget this
|
just like homeless
|
after christmas
|
|
still burning
|
now quiet
|
like buildings
|
after riots
|
throw me and
|
forget me
|
just like flowers
|
after weddings
|
just use me
|
then leave me
|
for the next
|
just like good parking
|
apologize
|
for all this
|
just like sober
|
alcoholics
|
|
and if you ever see me falling
|
i'll be the hammer
|
you'll be the nail
|
and if you ever see me falling
|
you'll be the sidewalk
|
i'll be the hail
|
|
now watch me melt away
|
