a girl, a dog and sweet jesus

a girl, a dog and sweet jesus

i rest my case

came in drenched,

never far from first place-

but never close either.

i sit for hours of day

trying to keep the light

shining our way

so maybe you will never notice

how badly you hurt me.

i spent so much time worrying

that you wouldn't love me

while my dog just stared me straight in the eyes

with a look that said

you never did.

and i know it,

its true

i could never be that perfectly

unperfect

for you.

all i ever had was

a few nights with interrupted

run-on sentences

shared between two strangers

that seemed like they entwined so well together.

all the late night conversations

led to passionate lovemaking sessions

where i could have sworn

the feelings i had

were shared by you.

but my dog looks at me

with disappointment

and unending love,

like jesus would

explaining to me they simply weren't.

and i was all alone in this

and you were all alone

so maybe thats why the feeling of magic occurred,

but magicians only play to the fool

and i am better off without you.
