relationships let you live
but they also let you die
it seems it can hurt
to reach out and find the sky
relationships, always complex

my social calendar is a joke
dreams burn in the garden
i choke on the smoke
relationships still bear no relation –
to any sense of normality

i thought the other day,
and i recalled your voice
the accent so familiar
the words so similar

holding tight, feels all right
temptation is hard to resist
remembering your goodbye kiss
the compliments you paid
can lead to so many complications

i got her
but she never found him
i found something to share
she undid the cap on my gin
