Empty Elevator Shaft :
Wasted all the scratch I had
Fish swam from the net
The watery percentages
Should've known better than that
Deals meant For a better plan
Synthesized from fear
Bank accounts full of empty checks
Affairs of the heart draw near
Check your luggage with the janitor
Trovel light when you go
Down an empty elevator shaft
No light between floors
Tail end of a trauma
Took a fortnight to lapse
Strange and inconceivable
Almost impossible perhaps
Though I wanted it to happen
and I could wait For the rest
I couldn't handle the pressure
Or justify the expense
No heat in the baggage hold
It's a paralyzing cold
Backpack stashed in the overhead
Duct tape on the doors
Just a sticky bloody mess
Bunch of wet flesh and bones
Stuck to the walls in the alley
Dogs come around to explore
Never thought that it would come to this
It was an honest mistake
People take failure differently
Some of us never get a break
