If you live long
enough you might
ask this question:
where does love go?
(I followed its tracks in the snow!)

If you lie long
enough you might
find this answer
around the bend:
(It was living with an old friend!)

Have I tried long
enough to earn
a nice ending?
Rigor Mortis.
(Finally, Unbending!)

There are supposed more of these, but they sound too much like a song, probably because they are a song. Anyway, songs do not really belong here, I think.

  1. This looks like it was written by a jerk. A smart jerk who'd hang up on his girlfriend to read his own poem. :(

  2. I love this jerk, though. Always.

  3. I actually set this to music. Or I set music to it, I am not sure which one. Anyway, I set something to something and it sounds nice or at least appropriate because how could this poem possibly sound nice? It's about something terrible and I am very glad that it is fictional. Considering recording/uploading it.
