minds like minefields

once upon a time

when we both lost our minds

and our memories

destroyed our common sense

and the letters sent

suicidal tendencies

deployed like a parachute

you had a hole in you

as we went tumbling through the sky

the only thing i'd change

is the fear and rage

and the hell i put you through

so sorry

and i can't get up

the nerve to look you in

the eyes as i'm leaving

and i can't go on

this same old song and dance

is murder on your feelings

i'm at a loss for words

as the tables turned

you placed me up on the wheel

in your torture chamber

my remains were

left next to my last meal

gone without a trace

you went off to taste

the fruit of the afterlife

as i sit and stir

nightmares recur

haven't slept a wink

in forty days or nights

and i can't get up

the nerve to look you in

the eyes as i'm leaving

and i can't go on

this same old song and dance

is murder on your feelings

now and again

forgotten friends

crossing my mind like a minefield

stopping to stare

asking

do i dare
