Loretta

She swears she’ll pull the trigger
You call her bluff instead
A fistful of prescriptions
Empty bottles in her bed
The Paramedics scramble
Her vital signs arrest
The helplessness you feel when the ones you love don’t love themselves
The Weight Of The World
Is Breaking The Girl
I Heard Every Word
That You Said
The Weight Of The World
Is Breaking The Girl
She’s Learning
To Speak With The Dead
They stabilize the patient
The sirens sound their call
A two week stint, discharged
Just to relapse after all
This dirty dance is ending
The final curtain call
I found you dead inside a
Fucking public bathroom stall
The Weight Of The World
Is Breaking The Girl
I Heard Every Word
That You Said
The Weight Of The World
Is Breaking The Girl
She’s Learning
To Speak With The Dead
Resentments she hides deep down inside, maid of gold
The Weight Of The World
Is Breaking The Girl
I Heard Every Word
That You Said
The Weight Of The World
Is Breaking The Girl
She’s Learning
To Speak With The Dead
