Look at em.
Where did he get
the marker to make the sign?
Where did he get the sign from?
I bet he stole that jacket.
I bet he fakin too.
He don’t look *****
enough to be homeless.
Uh-unnn, that lady
must be stupid
she just gave him some
money. Must be scared.
I bet he go straight
to the liquor store
or to go get some drug.
Mhmmmm,
they never fool me.

*drives off

You left us
at home
with hearts
cold enough
to freeze stone.

You left us
on Earth
to deal with them
alone.

I’m afraid
you won’t lend
yourself to bend

beneath my heavy hand
the colors I’d love
to see blend
the chemistry
either mixes too much
or not enough

Just like
a water color painting.

If you loved me
I'd place a chair in your heart
so no one could take my spot.
