Description
the city is people packed onto streets
and jammed tight into yellow taxi cars
places to be, things to see
you can get lost in a place like that.
no one notices the desperation when you
cry on 6th street by a lamp post that no longer
lights up when the night falls heavy.
no one notices the bruises on your heart
that make it hard to move once more.
you can wither away into loneliness's' grip
and never escape the feeling that
you just don't matter to anyone.
you're the ashtray sitting on the fire escape,
full of leftovers but nothing whole.
more than likely, you'll look up and scream to
the heavens hoping that someone or something screams
back. you just want a sign that you aren't as alone
as you feel, and you'd do anything to get it.

who knows, you may even let the demons in.
