My Aim Is True

"I could really fall in love with you Case."
She prowls those city streets like a lioness;
a jungle cat on the hunt.
"A street walking cheetah with
a heart full of napalm."
She'll take you down with a graceful
precision and devour you.
I was the gazelle at the end of the bar,
who lacked the courage
of his convictions.
And she was my Alison.
But I'll walk away this fall
sipping on black coffee
and smoking cigarettes.
Eventually I'll burn away
like a dying star and forget my way back home.
