Lakeview Hotel: Room 204
I lay alone in a hotel room, 7:14
I sung no forgotten sonnet. Honestly
Picked up the phone and screamed
Threw a bundle of papers against the wall
Killed my sleep and murdered my intuition
Pushed my bed into the ocean. Just listened
Young. 21. Hands on heart. Outspoken truth
+ 2, 23. That's me. No use scratching an itch
I wander 4 corners. Sunken refuse extends
Curtain covered window life from the outside in
Kept it clotted. Your advances were knotted in rope
But I slowed down. Peeled back and removed the wound
Took a tumble inside. Let the dream die
Wilted in agony. Placed my feet onto the cold stone floor
I'm not me anymore. I payed for this, yes?
It was then I took a life, an idea. Just like I haven't said...
