Maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all

It is time for the sixth installment of iPod Magnetic Poetry. Why? I do not know. It's just time.

Tell me why you have to go by
(Comes on gentle as a hurricane.)
We'll never be younger than today.
Some of them, they surprise.

Oh, noble man of God,
My finger in creases of distant dark places.
All the signs that I find have been underlined--
Agony.

You've been away too long--
Well, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.
Now, right now,
Why leave me alone?

The smell of puke and piss on your stilettos,
Pretending an everyday life we don't have.

How heartbreaking.
