Entry #5
FUTURE PAIN
Boyfriends come and go
Dear Mother
Yet you are always
near

A face of Pain
and some regret

Do you often
wish
for your younger years

Or are they-all a blur- in the bottom of-
your bottle?

Will you be
okay
some day
when I am-gone
and you are
here...
left
alone

I worry
but cannot be
afraid

I DO
On this day
that I am wed
I am thankful
that you came
and had a smile
on your face

I will not return to my old room
or the closet that was once
used as an after school hiding place

I have taken my blacklight posters and
Supertramp albums
and as I turn to run down the
aisle

I wear
a crooked
smile

THEME SONG NOT EVEN WRITTEN AT THAT TIME IN MY LIFE-BUT SOOOO APPLIES!
Fast Car-Tracy Chapman
"You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
AND YOUR ARM FELT NICE WRAPPED ROUND MY SHOULDER
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
You got a fast car
BUT IS IT FAST ENOUGH SO YOU CAN DRIVE AWAY
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way"
