IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME

Sitting in the middle of nowhere
Thinking of good times
Days of bliss and excitement
Ignorance all around us
Not knowing what tomorrow may bring
Laughing and playing
Starring at the stars
Till the days get shorter
People get older
Things get quieter
We realize that things wont be the same
That times are changing around us
People are leaving
Places are changing
We forget who we are,
Sitting in the middle of nowhere

It could be me

Walking hand in hand
With the one you love
Not a problem it’s normal
Then you meet his wife
The liar
I stand aside and watch
Shit, it could be me

Buying flowers for her
Little red and yellow blooms
Just to tell her
You are hers forever
Car crash into shop
Died on the spot
God, it could be me

Living with this beauty
Looks like an angel
Talks like a lover
Walks like sweet promises
First night, the knife flashed
Killed by a serial killer
Thank God it’s not me

Met this guy
At the country fair
Took my hands
Said he loves me
Made good love
behind the tents
grasping hands full of pain

I stood and watched
As they bury me
My parents crying
It couldn’t be me
I’m too young to die
Not by grasping hands
Of a mad clown!

I watched her cry with helpless eyes,
But thought, no, it could never happen to me!
I watched her sanity peel slowly away
Like old bark from a lightning struck tree
Despite my sympathy,
I still heartlessly, selfishly thought,
Never, ever,
It couldn't happen to me!
I watch her drift away
And I tried to catch her and bring her back
To the earth with me
But it was like catching mist on a summer morning
Soon it is lost before you realize
She drifted farther, until she was an empty corpse
Walking around with cuts carved into her wrists
No longer the friend I knew, something less
Just a sad child, woe and depressed
For what she'll never get.

Selfish, horrible, little ol' me just scoffed
And walked away,
Because it'd never happen to me.

Guess what?
Hello, Karma!
It did!
