Tonight my body finds sleep a hassle
I would rather stay up, embellish the night sky
With poetry, my innermost thoughts
Finding such luxury in solitude
Strong, intelligent, bright men turn to me
And all at once I beam and flutter my eyelashes
While twirling in my perpetual pixie skirt.

Finding a new home
The Brotel rampages and carries on
They found my earring in a wall
I haunt the halls, the ***** bathroom stall
Swans squaking and flying overhead
Just like witches on
Broomsticks
They lipsync battle, dance in one place, cards against humanity
Kings cup, who can get the drunkest
As my record player twirls and hisses
Its owner has flown the coop
One night when the toxicity got so bad
I vomited on a wall
But found myself the next 80 times or 2
Waking up smelling like mildew.

And no, I don't really really miss it.
But I see your face and the laughter we all shared
We hoped to be so much
And thats what brought me some simple tears
On my way home tonight
Because at one point
I never thought I could be so happy
Without you.

So here we are.
X marks the spot
Just like I said before
I was right.
My instincts, cha ching ching
Spot on.
I ran, ****, gone
The Gypsy they all called me
But lets get comfortable
And embrace the name
Lemon

I salt and I squeeze
Myself into what I'm meant to do
Finally, finally.

I wish you well
I think of you
But its less and less.

As one of the powerful leaders of the Chicago scene
Embraces me with his dark ambience, effortless sweet
Lets just fall in love, its happening
He says to me, its a jest but so real too
But we know our families would both have a fit.

I don't know.
I don't
I want it all. I want everything.
But I stop searching, looking
Dreaming and dreaming
And allowing those dreams
To take up my mind at 1:32am.
