Get The f**k Out Of My Purse
The nasty truth about me is
I'll help anybody.
Mostly those who don't deserve it.
I'm constantly hurt from being kind.
You would think it'd be the opposite.

She's Gonna Need A Quarter To Call Someone Who Cares
She was all in her feelings
He was all in his phone.
Spoken words unheard.
His brain just hummed
like an old dial tone.

The Hoard
I've become a bunch of stuff.
None of it means anything
and isn't worth anything.
How fitting.

The Breeze
I watched the wind take with it a soul.
Where they went I'll never know.
She was just gone.
Where they went I'll never know.
She was just gone.

Back at Zero
The empty cup filled itself
half way up,
only to be knocked over.

Just So You Know
Faking cancer.
Faking suicide.
Fake accounts.
I've never been one to judge books on just
their cover, I read into everything and totally
got your number. All of them.

2 Candy Bars and A Bag of Chips
He stole from her store at least once a week.
She figured he must be hungry.
She let him go time after time.
Didn't want to ruin his young life by calling
the cops. It was only candy.
Fast forward 15 years and 100 miles away
her son is car-jacked and killed.
She looked over her sons body and weept.
The police had the killer.
She was told his name. It felt familiar.
She went home and cried and then a flash of
light went through her mind and she saw that little
boys face and remembered his...

Somewhere Near The Bend
Only the water knew his name.
In the river he bathed.
In the river he stayed.
A handful of stones.
A pile of bones.
Over time, everything he was washed away.

Who Sits Behind You?
She had seen enough movies to know she could
easily strangle the man in front of her.
She looked down at her shoe laces and looked
up at the back of the man's neck.
Her laces were old. Possibly dry rotted, they
could break with any real force applied.
She touched her belt. It was a bit wide she wasn't
sure if it would work. She imagined it would take
longer.
There was a CVS bag next to her. Maybe she
could snuff him out with that. Yeah right. Those
bags are cheap. She wondered why no one ever
ripped the bag...

The Bye and Bye
The barrel was in her face
and then a bullet in her brain.
Rewind, back to the beginning.
A phone call.
An old friend.
An hour car ride.
No, thats not how it ends, should have. Didn't.
She pulled in, he came out and the past seemed
like the future. She broke away from his embrace
he left and she drove away.
What could've been haunted her heart.
Oh well. Oh fucking well.
No gas, a little cash and an orange light blinking.
She had to stop. ...

It's Always Dreary
Most of the world are dead inside
the others are people who haven't realized it yet
or just idiots.
We're on a giant turd that used to be a
wonderful place then, humans ate it up
and shit it out.
Don't get me wrong there's humor in this misery,
just have be a tortured soul to see it.
I'm laughing so hard my cheeks hurt and tears
streak my face. No reason to cry, it's something
the eyes do to annoy me. Ocular hope.
The brain knows better.
2 million joints and a bazillion cigarettes
and enough wine...
