After three days that i was gone   I told myself I'd never come home.      I saw you were back in town   With your new boy;   A toy you wear like a crown,   A puzzle you try to enjoy.      I laid out on the cold street,   Tears streaked down my pale cheeks;   A baby crying in the rain   Unable to walk with knees that weak.      The diamond you polish   Is the one i make dry.   You keep him on a short leash,   Soon he'll have no need to comply.      I laid in the light   That was cast,   Counting my seconds   Thinking they were my last.      The street light flickers   As moths hit its glass   And burn up in the heat.   I wonder why i can't be like that.
