Beginning to End

It started with a kiss
A musky night, a group of friends
Your blue eyes, electric like light bulbs
Your bear claws on my shoulder blades

It started with a kiss
A few laughs, then some more
My car, your house, anywhere
Your electricity always around me

It started with a kiss
A few fights, petty arguments
Always jealous, always watching
The suffocation of your gaze

It started with a kiss
A push, a shove
Always my fault, I shouldn’t have
No one but you

It started with a kiss
A broken arm, an accident of course
Names, names, names
Why do I make you mad, what did I do again

It started with a kiss
Silence now
Fear to be with you alone
No time for friends, though

It started with a kiss
It ended with a fist.
