She Didn't Believe It

i tried to tell her hell i

try to tell all of them

but she didn't believe it

when i said to expect

the unexpected

and to deal with

puzzling deals nothing

to be dealt with normally

there being nothing normal there


so i should not be held responsible

naturally

for twisting a phrase,

opening the horizon

or breaking her heart


i tried to tell her that 

might happen but

she didn't believe it but

being pro-active and smarter than me

broke mine first
