Ben Willis, I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
I know what you did last summer
you were barefoot on his porch
his laughter in your hair
your shadow tangled with his on the beach
where he once swore 'forever' to me
I can see it now
lazy afternoons stitched with deceit
lips rehearsing for your return
when you would look at me and exclaim
"I've missed you so much, Roomie"
When reality walks into the room
It hums, trembles, cuts
I don't need your reasons
there are none that fit the
shape of what you broke
