Save


Every casket has its fill some are against the will Dead live die Some walk dead Some fly spirits bottle-fed In the streets in your head Underpass in a box Drop out of school hard knocks Score written on her arms Smile takes you off guard College drop out More like life What I saw Fingers work the edge she said I took the pledge In an hour weak from sleep In a time we meet Street was corner dead I was lonely Five she said Time it wakes in a storm She was a live I was born Music in my ears Warm body Shares my fears As passion fails Trail keeps Cats and me Walk the street Rats come in colored cloth Some are free some are bought Pain and vein mixes with wine Chills the script Frees the mind Taxi she sleeps In my bed Better than the street Wailing sound Overdose Coming down Question never end Saved her life Not a friend Stays with me Street is cold Garden warm Saved a soul She is young I am old Love in verse Unfolds Whiskey like a lullaby Never too young or too old to cry Watch love grow Watch the body die Every casket has its fill some are against the will Dead live die Some walk dead Some fly spirits bottle-fed In the streets in your head .

This is so well-written. You've brought the imageries, the thoughts, the feelings, and the compassion to life!

Wonderful unique work!!!!!
