Fourth Times A Charm

I thought and thought and thought some more
Of that time that was before
Before the rain that came then poured
Before my life dropped right to the floor.

I count to three because that's how many times
How many times I've felt these rhymes
How many times I've screamed "no more!"
So I think and think, then count to four.

I count to four because I know not how
Know not how I'm living now
And I leave you with my fatal number
My number of eternal slumber.
Four.
