Coincidence

Have you ever said something aloud, so quick to utter, but not quick enough to lie?
What a coincidence, so have I.
Have you ever slapped your sister, a snap so hard it made you cry?
What a coincidence, so have I.
Have you ever met a soulmate who
failed to see the future in your eyes?
What a coincidence, so have I.
Have you ever received a text late on a Thursday night?
Three words,“I Love You”, and your first thought is “suicide”?
What a coincidence, so have I.
But then maybe not suicide, but maybe others will die,
So you text back, "Are you alright?"
What a coincidence, so have I.
You could be overreacting, right?
Maybe she was just thinking about you 448 miles away
At 11:37 at night.
But maybe not.
Maybe today is the day she cracks and sucks everyone around her with her
As she seeps down the drain, rings left behind.
Have you ever called your sister for reassurance only to find
she was just about to call you for the exact same thing?
What a coincidence, so have I.
And then you feel less crazy to know that your other half
received the same text from your other third, and that she, too, was on standby.
Have you ever worried so much it doesn't even feel good to cry?
What a coincidence, so have I.
