A Poem for Your Thoughs pt. 1

"i shot the lights out too"

i shot the lights out

on a million girls

when i should have stayed

balancing things
i could not save
born coward, taught slave
to be a fool
nourished on fears

and afraid

.....

i am lying alone

in a castle of bones

under a blanket
time to go
close the door

 leave me because i have only the one shot left

and i shot the lights out already

.....

-Ryan Adams "Infinity Blues"

These are my favorite parts of the poem.  Perhaps it's literary blasphemy to only quote parts, but I don't mind.
