"You could love her, if you paid"
That's what the song told me.
Not what I meant.
Goddamn, I'm not really sad
I guess I was mad for a bit.
But now, I just sit.
Holy shit, I'm tearing up.
Eyes sting as I find the right letters.
I didn't know that this thread ran so deep.
I guess you never know...
Until it is pulled out.

(Wow. This surprised me. I honestly didn't realize this would happen.)

(This is kind of a stream of consciousness deal...I'm basically just writing lines that come to my head as I'm thinking about it, hence the choppy, unorganized-ness.)

(By the way, anyone recognize the song lyric at the beginning?

Yes. I know YOU do secular.mosh.pit, I was talking to the rest of the world.)
