SIX YEARS AND SOME

THE FIRST TIME WE CELEBRATED THE NEW YEAR
WAS AT A PLACE CALLED THE CHURCH OF POINTLESS HYSTERIA
WE SMOKED OUR METH
SNORTED OUT CRACK
PICKED AT LESIONS ON OUR FACE AND BACK
ATE ROTTEN RONNIE'S TWICE A WEEK
AFTER AWHILE WE HAD TO SMOKE MORE TO
REACH OUR PEAK
WE HUNG OUT WITH CRACK HEADS
AND DEALERS AND BIKERS TOO
WE SMOKED UNTIL WE WERE THROUGH
WE LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT WE WERE ANOREXIC
WE SMOKED SO MUCH WE WERE PARANOID AND AFRAID
WE DID SO MUCH THAT I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE
WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SIX YEARS AND SOME

WE GO TO CHURCH AND WORK AT GOOD PAYING JOBS
WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT LOVE US AND FAMILY THAT CARES
WE KISS EVERY DAY
MORNING AND NIGHT
AND ASIDE FROM MY NEUROSIS
ATTACKING MY INNER BEING FAR MORE THEN I WISH
OUR LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER
AND YET WE ARE NOT EVEN RICH

WE LAUGH AND WE TALK AND WE ARE SILLY AND STRANGE
SOMETIMES WE ACT PRETTY DERANGED
BUT HOW WE ARE NOW IS NO COMPARISON TO HOW WE WERE THEN
AND I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER
SIX YEARS AND SOME

HAPPY AND SAFE
LOVING AND FAR FROM HARM
SMART AND WISE AND FULL OF KNOWLEDGE
HEALTHY AND AT PEACE
I AM SO HAPPY WE MARRIED
WE FIT ONE ANOTHER LIKE A GLOVE AND
NOW OUR LIVES ARE OVER FLOWING WITH LOVE
LOVE WE WORKED FOR AND LOVE WE DESERVED
LOVE THAT WAS REPAIRED EVEN AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS
OF DOING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO
RUIN OUR LIVES AND OUR SELVES
WE HOLD HANDS AND CUDDLE A LOT
WE NEVER FIGHT OR GO TO BED ANGRY
I AM SO GLAD AND ELATED TO BE ABLE TO SAY
WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SIX YEARS AND SOME
AND WE ARE SO IN LOVE THERE IS NO ONE
WE WOULD RATHER BE WITH
NO ONE WE WOULD RATHER TOUCH
I LOVE MY LIFE AND MY HUSBAND SO MUCH
AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN SIX YEARS AND SOME
