no such thing

no such thing as watches that tick forever
no such thing as unicorns
never seen a jackal-ope
never has my face stayed clean

losers never won the race
and  the rocking chair never stayed dark green
smiles faded 
laughs died

and when she did,
the angels cried.
'cause living isn't for the perfect, 
or the broken-hearted souls
her soft sobs broke the silence
and created black, empty, holes

that ripped through light, that tore, relentless
aware of the damage that'd been done

Give me more, sweet sorrow,
End the torment, 
because tomorrow,

sunshine breathes a last wave of heat
and pores soak up the lasting sweat
of a person who was never more 
than a never-ending bet.
