this place really ***** your soul out it leaves you so empty that there is no room for more empty inside. it leaves you broken down on the side of the road with a broken down cell phone and a broken down heart. it kicks you in the gut and expects you to continue breathing just like nothing happened it throws people and places and words and numbers at you and expects you to somehow make sense of the nonsensical string of thoughts tossed together in a stew of confusion and hair-pulling-graying stress. it gives you a person who leaves you the same way it left you, empty without context or direction it's magnetic it causes the compass in your heart to spin wildly out of control leaving you lost and alone i shows you jealousy and envokes hatred that you never knew existed but you realize it's not the place at all it's the people and you. you.
