Wreckingball

Meaghan McLaughlin

...keep drawing outside the lines. Time

escapes me blind. The mind wanders...

I swear that thing, it ain't mine...a teasing disease...

a wreckingball.

Seemed so sane, this mess around me.

Red-caped wonder falls sooner than later,

as far as I've seen.

No hero great enough to undo crimes I keep commiting.

"The good guys finish last": it's his try at getting past

the whole past. Don't you understand?

It's the secrets we keep keeping.

It comes faster than me.

I know I can count nothing too high.

You don't have to shout this close to me.

Seemed so sane, this mess around me.
