I Wish I Could Have

Don’t want to whine
Why even bother
There’s no room for my error
There’s no fault at all
What’s in it for me
Why should I do it
Ask me a question
In response no reply
Pockets are bare
The bottle is broken
There in the gutter
The sewer is dry
I’m so alone
It’s my own inside joke
Tear it apart it’s told
Don’t let me let it go
Take it from me
I think it can fly
I saw it weeping
Parked near the protest
There by the garden
Bare by the water
Still and unyielding
Time for the breeze
To smash the tv
To look right through me
To live in denial
To mourn the living
Said please forgive me
Please take me home
Wherever it may be
If you take me with you
I’ll know the feeling
I’m so alone
It’s my own inside joke
Tear it apart it’s told
Don’t let me let it go
Take it from me
