I was in violation of love,
When I had him but didn't love him.
I was in violation of books,
When I read them but didn't understand them
I was in violation of car driving,
When I braked on a cliffy edge.
I was in violation of love,
When I ignored that child.
I was in violation of typing,
When I made so many mistakes.
I was in violation planets,
When I spun them the other way.
I was in violation of the universe,
So I was in violation of the Milky Way.
