"NEVER AGAIN"

YOU COME AROUND THE CORNER
ON YOUR WAY HOME FROM WORK
YOUR YARD IS BURNING A BRIGHT FLAME IT SAYS 
NEVER AGAIN 
WORDS THAT APPEAR ONLY IN YOUR OWN NIGHTMARES 
AND FRIGHTEN YOU TO ALL ENDS

YOU PARK YOUR CAR AND ENTER YOUR HOUSE 
IN EVERY ROOM OF THE HOUSE 
INCENSES BURN WORDS THAT RUIN YOUR LIFE 
THEY READ NEVER AGAIN
YOUR HEART FALLS THROUGH THE FLOOR 
AS YOU STARE AT THE DIEING FLAMES

YOU CONTINUE ONTO THE TOP FLOOR OF YOUR HOUSE
IT LOOKS THE SAME AS THE DOWNSTAIRS WITH THE INCENSES
YOU OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR ROOM AND SCREAM 
LAYING ON YOUR BED IS MY BODY 
ON THE FLOOR IS A NOTE AND THE GUN 
YOU WALK OVER AND PICK UP THE GUN

YOU DROP THE CLIP AND SEEM AMUSED BY THE FIVE BULLETS
EACH ONE CONTAINED A WORD 
I AND LOVE AND YOU
A SMILE CROSSED YOUR FACE
THEN YOU READ THE FINAL TWO BULLETS
NEVER AND AGAIN

YOU DROPPED THE CLIP AND PICKED UP THE LETTER
AND BEGAN TO READ IT YOUR EYES SWELLING UP 
AS YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU 
AND I COULDN'T GET OUT SO I ENDED MY OWN MISERY 
YOU DROPPED THE LETTER AND GRABBED THE GUN AND SAID 
NEVER AGAIN WILL I FIND HAPPINESS 

THE GUN'S HAMMER SLAMMED HOME
