think to a link that broke quick in the business of affairs
of memory and season and broken hearts
and dreams that began with I love you
when all other metaphors fail for loss that is deep and meaningful
all I have is love
and its companion love lost
and the place it will take you
beneath the pain in your eyes
is the ache in your heart 
of life left only memories
I laid to rest in the arms of every motherfucker who hurt me
novacaine, my novacaine slick nightmare dream man helps me forget
of feeling the failure of nothing being enough to take nothing away
from the pain of a family that can't make love the way it made hate
my feet run backwards, forwards, in any direction of truth
to find nothing but a girl pursing her lips
pursuing a way out to freedom
in any position but remembrance
think about that motherfucker
