I am a terrible texter
A shitty snap-chatter
A flop on Facebook
And all around awful at any form of virtual communication
I blame it on my depression sometimes

With the vernacular of his or her masterpieces
It’s the role of the readers to add mentally missing pieces
Hello Mr. mustang, please don’t text while you drive

For not everyone is prepared for their death
Tonight was never meant to end in a murderous fiasco of hate and pain. I crouch by the bathroom sink in order to preserve what was left of my dignity and desperation. With each shriek of the gun I crouch lower, lower, lower until my tummy reaches
Two that love, driving and texting each other
to the hope that they will be together.

You're calling me a loose "canon"
But you're the one so quick to take the picture
You tell me I'm "noting" to you
But I've been upfront 100% and tried to fix our issues
