Tilt Leaning Like A Barn
I hit every red light, I threw everything out of the house I left, but I = came back, walk backwards through the door, you didn't save a bit for = me, you didn't nod or disagree, our sidewalk is askew, our rent is = overdue. I'm leaning like a barn, I'm abandoned like a house, I'm = feeling like a knife in a drawer. Admit you brought the drought, you're = so dry to the touch, and I pray for the rain. I'd love to help you bake, = but the killer on your face says you're gone, you didn't leave a note = for me, you didn't see me sharpening, my steps are falling through, our = home is ready to split in two. Don' need a sickle to cut you down, don't = need no driving rod to track you down, the rains are coming and the sky = is brown, the weather vane is spinning, spinning around. Submitted by: Mel
