Slight of Tragic by Danielle Ernst I am forever in the wrong place at the wrong time the bystander that gets shot down- And I thought "Maybe it was my fault, maybe I did something wrong?" and it may sound slight of tragic, and it may sound overblown But I am okay- better better better Better off alone And he said, "I swear to you that this is it I won't do this again, I won't go through this again." He throws his anger at my feet Then turns and scratches at my door And he is asking begging begging begging Begging me for more And I know I never asked for this much And no, I never asked for more And I was everything he asked of me Took the bullet that flew stray And I am hoping wishing wishing wishing wishing he'd stop asking me to stay I am tired- praying praying praying Praying his love will fade away   03/16/2006 Author's Note: best when said while pacing back and forth alone.

I liked this Danielle - good stuff.
