The Soundtrack

i broke in half when i took that pill
put it on my tongue
felt it melt
twirled around like a fucking beauty queen
their laughter was the soundtrack to this dream

wake up to a nightmare
a face screaming at me
naked on a bed wondering what the fuck happened
trying to remember what i did in this bed
his screams were the soundtrack to the pain in my head

stumble out of the room, half dressed
faces laughing at me as i cry out the door
call from a pay phone and he comes to pick me up
he would have yelled if i weren't crying so loud
his whispers are the soundtrack to the tears on my cheeks

the drive home is quiet except for my sobs
and his quiet murmurs of comfort
he helps me to the door and upstairs to my bed
kisses my cheek and sits until i fall asleep
his gentle humming is the soundtrack to my last heartbeat
