oh i pray you don't forget me
or the night you fucking wrecked me-
stop it! i can still feel you
climbing on top of me
and still have to tell you (somehow)
i lost the baby.
brimming with life
until a soft death arises
inside of me,
i lost our baby.
GODDAMN this wretched carcass,
of the boy who never cared:
oh i pray you never forget
all of what we could be (could've been)
now i saw you in that all-black benz,
i caught you on another bend:
and oh! i pray to God,
this pain will end...
but
when?
