I Died

2:30 pm, i jumped off the welfare wagon

to meet you for lunch. you sit like a thai princess...

cold and captivating. you divulge your latest secret.

(so sinister - i cannot repeat)

from my eyes flows glacier water.

from my soul, sick obscenities.

i died eating french fries

in the restaurant on the corner,

where you broke me heart.

i cried 'cause i bit my tongue

knowing the truth would wash over you

like a rash.

annihilation of my self-respect and cash flow

before my eyes - right here in this booth.

through this blinding hatred i see a lady on my right.

she winked at me and said, "run for your life!"

from my eyes flows glacier water.

from my soul, sick obscenities.

i died eating french fries

in the restaurant on the corner,

where you broke me heart.

i cried 'cause i bit my tongue

knowing the truth would wash over you

like a rash.

i hereby use my glacier water

to wash away the remorse and the stain.

behind these eyes i'm my mother's daughter.

hard, hidden shame:

and you'll never see me again!
