A Millisecond Two Long

you know the way silence feels sometimes
like that instant just after slamming your hand in a door
or stubbing your toe
but before the pain comes?
that's the way now wishing more
than a hundred thousand times
that i could take back what i'd just said
and why

Mmmm yes, apparently I am not the exclusive one with foot in mouth syndrome... Yesterday I commented to a random person "You know, I don't know why anyone would commit suicide..." I was watching something... nevermind.. anyway... she turns to me and lifts her sleeves to reveal scars. "Year to date." >< someone just shoot me and put me out of my misery.
