That night it was New Years. <br />Hip. Hip. Hooray. <br />Downstairs my antique lover and <br />my in between lover <br />are singing sweet melodies- <br />watching as my <br />new lover kisses me. <br />The clock strikes twelve. <br />I think they kissed two girls as well, <br />But that was just a game. <br />They were really watching me <br />as I kissed my new lover- <br />and turned away. <br /> <br />That night it was New Years. <br />My cheers are all gone, <br />I move into the bathroom, <br />And I turn the tub on. <br />But the faucet won't strike me <br />With its cool frozen rain. <br />I crawl inside the bathtub, <br />And I think on my days. <br />I curl up in blankets, <br />Pretending I'm in water, <br />Drowning in my sorrows, <br />As well as my lovers. <br />Oh, I can't go on like this, <br />Life isn't about...this. <br />Having three different lovers, <br />Asleep, downstairs. <br />One day you've gotta choose, <br />And I choose you.<br /><br />author unknown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-years-in-the-bathtub/
