Lost myself in...

by Elizabeth Seago

"What's your sign?" 's
False alibi's
All the love I've yet to try.

Lilacs and
Jackets and
All the compassion I dealt out
And won't see back.

All the love I lack and
The shackles that have always kept me
In this nowhere town.

We paper macheted my heart
Because we thought it pretty
Now it smells funky and my
Fingers are sticky.

And if you don't take the right road out of here
Darlin, you're gonna be chasin your tail for years.


Tumbleweeds and autumn leaves and
All of you I haven't seen.
I'm gettin' on outta here sugar.
You can come if you'd like
Oh but if not I can't let it break me now
I know there's no changin your mind.
