Inauspicious Beginning

At eight in the morning I rolled out of bed
Since I had to make what some people call bread
Not the kind that is ingested but the kind that can be spent
Since the writing I was trying wasn’t paying the rent
I saw the girl who made my failure easier to bear
And I kissed her goodbye
I expected warm skin but the warmth wasn’t there
And I started to cry
She was tired but healthy when we went to sleep
Suddenly she seemed lifeless like Dolly the sheep

How did I feel then? I’ll try to explain
At night I felt crazy about her – In the morning I felt insane
I took a while before I asked her out – I blame irrational fears
But when I finally did she said yes, and those were the best 2 years
Of my life and then somehow she’s just gone
I felt like my life was a bad love song, and I could not go on
I stayed home feeling empty like an ice cream free cone
Until I summoned the courage to call the police on the phone
They sent someone to take her body and perform an analysis
Then I reverted to my state of emotional paralysis
I ordered some pizza and didn’t do much else but curse
And I felt that my fate could not get any worse
