She used to
December 1, 2009
She used to sit on the power meter
Hoping life would be shocked into her
She would whisper silent prayers
Begging God to rewrite her plan
She sat listening to the birds fly
Crying out to them to help her fly
She would sit behind the wheel of a car
Selfishly asking someone to make that one mistake
“It was an accident” they’d tell people
Constantly she dreamt
Only wishing to never hit reality again
“I can see in your eyes, you’re ready to break. Don’t look away.” Secondhand Serenade
