Neverminded.
the collector of sighs
works in the dead of night
listens for bed spring serenades
the unzipping of zips
love me love me not
love me not
love me not
the daises are dead
the chain is unlocked
she falls from a great height
no safety net
onto a stretcher of the emergency services
who whisk her away to
the club of the betrayed
where dj sorrow spins cracked love songs
it’s never too late
too late
she’s collapsed unconscious
drowned in her tears
her heart is broken
a thousand pieces
with no one around to help her
except
from the depths of darkness
there comes a hand
now she’s dancing with
kurt cobain
nevermind
