WAS
Anna is the smell of oatmeal with pears and strawberries
Illegal in the eyes of the judiciaries
More hot and heavy than every star in Aries
Anna and I held hands in eighth grade
"Your hands are sweaty."
And thus my hand strayed
Wounded by a phrase so petty
Anna and I broke up that May
My first love disregarded our relationship
Sometimes I forget that it's okay to be gay
My heart was in her complete ownership
I held the door open for Anna two years later
Pain hit my intestines like a freighter
Surely she had to be a manipulator
The next morning I received a call
"Anna committed suicide,"
And just like that I fall
"It's April 1st," I replied
It was not a prank, Anna had truly died
Arctic Monkeys vinyls at noon
Deep conversations whilst staring at the moon
Oh how she made me swoon!
Anna pulled the trigger like a harpoon
Sprayed across hardwood, maroon
Cold on the floor her body found strewn
I loved her, she was my favorite tune
I won't be better anytime soon
Anna is the feeling of cat claws sinking into my skin
Too fucking soon for the credits to flash "Fin."
Anna is my late night break-in
Anna has fangs like a python, Boelen
Anna is my worst enemy
Anna is my only love
My heart is a mourning dove
Why am I so undeserving of
The presence of a strawberry blonde
Who with I have no bond
Who is somewhere in the beyond
My brain and my heart do not correspond
Anna why won't you just respond?
It has been almost a year since you left
A year since you committed this theft
Of my every waking thought, bereft
Anna was depressed
Anna was stressed
People like Anna and I are oppressed
If you were wondering, hell is the midwest
I sit here completely possessed
Could I have gotten her problems addressed
Before she took her own life, distressed
Anna was playing video games with greasy hair
Anna was watching movies at 3AM without a care
Anna was that god awful oatmeal with pear
Anna was my one and only love affair
Anna was too lugubrious to live and that is unfair
Anna was programming virus software
Anna was brighter than a solar flare
Anna was waging biological warfare
Anna was trying to kill me
Anna was trying to kill me
Anna was trying to kill me
Anna was trying
Anna was...
