Aimlessly

A stubborn stride takes her there

Dries her lips and pulls her hair

Skies smell of gasoline

Fading to tar

Asphalt and a broken down car

Rain on her flesh

Running circles around scars

Dirt thick as leather

Her foot is bleeding

She can feel each of your stares

Many things scare her

None she has chosen without care

In the way she moves

She feels a graceless wandering

A stumbling, tripping,

Lost-like confidence as though

She's only going the direction she'll go

Without purpose in one fell swoop

She's back again

She hasn't got a chance

She's yet to fall through

Here she found the rabbit hole

Here she found the ****** end

Then she saw the error of her ways

And he wouldn't let her in

She's got a little secret

If he can find her tell

She's floundering

In seas of green and callous red

Next time he sees her trip or finds her fall

She'll dare him to wait and see if she'll spin

Saying: "You just wait my friend

Here I aimlessly go again"
