it started as a warning
a slap on the wrist
i guess it wasn't enough
how did it come to this?

happiness and i said our goodbyes
watched it wave,out the corner of my eye
i saw an approaching shape
trouble had claimed me as its to take
making me whole
stripping me away
how could you do this to me
you say :
you've gone too far
there's no turning back
trouble is here
so try to relax

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
