Lauren, I Said - Stripmall Architecture

«Lauren,» I said*

«I hope that you have it inside you

To take this

To take it to the natural end.»

«Oh, Lauren,» I said

«I hope that you know how to do this

To bring us, to bring us to the natural end.»

«It might be hard

But I saw your face

And I know you’re right.»

«Oh, Lauren,» I said

«Lauren,» I said

«You only have one heart inside you

To keep you, to keep you from an unnatural end.»

My doe, you hover on the edge

Like someone afraid of getting caught

Or pausing unsure if the red light is coming

I know that you are right

Lauren, I hope you are sure
