Did you get to know the girl
beating out her soles
looking for someone who might hold
the pride the stranger stole
would you take her as your own
no expectations, no scorn
just an object to adorn
pouring your warmth to the inside
before it's cooled by the evil that surrounds it
you two could be a pair
soul mates on a ship of despair
heavy hearts and broken beds
her numb shell of a body surrounds you
and you know she'll disembowel you
exposing all you've been fed
the days grow long when panic is high
same ole routine gets you by
hands that shake and eyes disguised
outward symptoms of a latent lie
full to the brim like the tonic in your glass
you can't describe the mood
when you can't speak back
hot and endless like a Nevada flat
you can't say a word to a man like that
words on a paper
I've written a few
scars on my body
broken and abused
look on my face
knows your dirty too
