Fried Out Broken Girl

Eric Matthews


you can try and run away
try and find a hide away, away
look don't seek that yesterday
feelings gone she couldn't, wouldn't stay

someone gots my world
it's falling down to curls
so selfish boy and girl
in careful webs they twirl

bitter's what you used to say
and vigor's what you stripped away
sold or stolen youth don't stay
broken child's dreams in play, in play

fried out broken girl
swallowed every pearl
so pitiful boy meets girl
in beautiful beds they twirl
