Three Strange Days

She said “You always liked the sad songs”



I looked straight ahead



She said “Even when we were together, you were sad”



I waited, she stroked my pain



In my head I heard “For three strange days”



She continued “Something’s always been wrong with you”



I continued to listen to the song…



“I got to make it through, no matter what it takes”



“Yeah, I got to make it through, no matter what it takes”



She looked at me as if I was supposed to reply…



While I hummed, “Completely still, cept the pounding of my heart,

bringing me back to life, from three strange days”



Seems she never understood, me….nor the words inside my head
