hung over life

i will stay where you left me
unbegun
not tainted by your temptation
to move on.

living with lies i can bear
it's perhaps truth i can't stand
so thank you for being patient
with my hastiness.

oh my, a crazy world
lives in my head
gambling with the beauty
of tomorrow.

i've turned the corner
just to find my heart arrested
and broken
at the sight of a window not lit.

who would have thought
that i was bugged
the day before yesterday
poisoned by love?

stay here as i turn the corner
once more
hang on until i'm gone
just for the thrill.

is making love really enough
to save
the stroke of luck
from my bare hands?
