If the dress fits.

by Johnny Crimson

Just let me know when you're tired of smelling
like everyone

Half the size of a folded dollar
then half the size of that
Was about the way it felt in her

The rings in her mind
Don't match the ones around her eyes

But I hope when you get that ring
your fucking fingers fall off

And as the disease spreads to your brain
and your blood just gives up

and falls from your body

And you feel yourself being forcefully deprived of your virginity over
and over again

I hope you think of me

"So are you going to that party saturday night? It should be a blast.
Did you hear about little Danny Carrington? He was eaten by a shark last night. Funerals tomorrow. My kid sister just made honor roll, and the folks are doing well. Hey whats with you girl? You seem a bit detached tonight?"

"I just realized, I'm in love with someone else."

"Who!"

"The dead boy, whose ghost is standing behind you!"
