The Same Girl: Part One

I stopped breathing
ten seconds
before she
came inside
my mind
had no time
for disappointment
shattered yesterday
from one too many
people
telling me
I knew this girl
at every restaurant
the same
the girl
is like a picture
I'm allowed
to gaze
but smiles
will only
seem to change
her
slightly


she's as wild
as I'm
dis-satisfied
my hope
is gone
the radio
the counter
chose
the station
which was wrong
for inspiration
of a smile
I forced
a liars'
sense of style
or worse
I'm certain
she could
care for me
a different
kind
I am
the same
a different way


the same girl
came
the nightmare
went
in every way
insane
