9.1.10

Good morning, Anna.

She wakes to another morning
Bloodshot eyes, cigarette burns
She shakes like a breaking twig
Caught inside, the room turns.

Reaches up into her velvet purse
Grabs a broken mirror to fix her face
Her head's tangled, lips bleed red
It starts and end in the same place.

Once she used to be beautiful
Now she gets pity for her smiles
The bed was once lined with lovers
Now not a lover for miles.

She's running late again for work
Sunshine's gone, sky's darkened
There is just no time left today
Suicide, maybe later this weekend.

Katie's leaving

Something feels so wrong
The last straw's been drawn
Things were always better than this
Now it feels long gone.

This isn't how it was meant to be
Its time to say the last goodbye
Love has no meaning anymore
Black lie killed the white lie.

Rewinding and playing memories
Seasons change outside the window
Broken smiles and deep sighs
All that is now left to show.

She is afraid to let go
He's given up, now it's her turn
Lets leave us behind and walk away
Forget yesterday, tomorrow we burn.
