Draughty

It is draughty in here, draughty in here, with the windows broken and boarded up, and there is a light bulb flickering, and people gathered around a fire. People trying to keep out of the winter snows, in the mountains where no one hardly goes, people hoping to live, people hoping to survive; their old […]

Down

Down, down with a frown, yes, it is one of those days, where I feel like hanging upside down, where I can pretend to be happy, even if my misery is still there, yes, at least I wouldn't be in despair, and everyone would not run away at the sight of me, of me looking […]

Down and out

Down and out, in the middle of town, down and out in the rainswept streets, down and out with barely anything waterproof at all, down and out with, no shelter, no warmth, drunk, high on something, with hungry eyes, and with barely any friends, and with friends, and with barely any or no family at […]

Don’t go

My friend, please don't go, please, don't go to the land of winter and snow, but stay a while, and let me fill your heart with a gentle glow, yes, please don't go, but stay a while, and let me make you smile, and let us talk and laugh under the stars, and the heavens, […]

Do you

Do you, for things in life, do you beg, and do you plead, do you cry such tears from the want inside, and do you die, do you die a little every time, every time that you do not receive what you want to receive? Do you believe in luck, do you in life, do […]
