Never Again

Never again
she said
spite pouring through her veins
and arteries
like so many cars
over the san francisco bridge
and if we were to look in one of those cars
we'd see a girl
probably nineteen
on her way home

There she sat
lonely and bound
to her seat and belt
like a dog to a leash
dreaming of getting up
and flying away

but she doesn't
she sits there
and thinks about her ex
a boy too confused
to see what he wants
she thought to herself
well, what if he knew?
what if he knew
exactly what he was missing out on?
she shook her head
relieving herself of the memories
so fragile that their
shattered fragments
blocked her ideas
of peace and serenity
and she reminded herself

Never again.
