Knives 'n Shit

with a knife on the bathroom floor
Johnny could hardly remember
what born-again meant
Jackie his unrequited love
had left without a word
i walked in the front door
with supposed words of comfort
"she's not worth it"
"there's so much to live for"

a month prior
i had a knife and a locked bathroom door
no one barged in
to tell me how "worth it"
everything was
or wasn't

now there's a wife
there's a house
where i sleep
along side her
but no knife
and no bloody bathroom floor

i wonder where Johnny is now
