Things are Sold in Loss to Despair

It’s not enough to make believe

And after all is really frustrating

Not feeling the way I do

But here we go:

I never felt no trace of pity when she died

No hate no nothing for this sad news from a stranger

 

All I remember is that I was unemployed

Not able to find a **** job for a long time

So she offered me a place to sleep

And the daily bred as a reward for my hand labor

Carried out all day long near his house

 

It was the kind of slavery of which

The most stupid animals can be horrified

 

But I did it

Yes sir

I did it out of pity for her solitude sickness and despair

After a while I even hated her hobby to collect nothing but things

This car this house this garden of paranoid miracles

 

All sold in loss after her burial to some gipsy lover

Who was actually greedier than she ever dreamed

 

I also remember she cursed me when I left her place

”You ******* she said

”You will never be able to find a home of your own”

”You may rot in hell working for strangers!”

 

”It’s ok” I said

”You never felt anything more delusional of me”

”But if strangers would feel that way” I said

”At least they will pay me big time for my trouble”

 

So I was far away in the land of Nowhere when she died

And I knew that for me she was gone long time before

When I didn’t felt no pity no hate no trace of any sadness

 

When I decided to leave the house of my sister

Which was not my home anymore

When I felt my real sister was gone far away

And anywhere else in the world
