Just a Waste

crayons lined up according to color
rainbow formation
lights hung in careful balance
desired perfection

ladies dressed in flawless white
no connection
men comparing their lofty sum
no connection

He held your hand
He held your heart
He held you close
He tore your world apart.

She smiled at you
She laughed with you
She learned with you
She burned down with you.

he watched you fall
he watched her cry
he blamed his mom
he resisted the urge to die

The sooner you decide to stand up and fight the odds
The sooner they will have the chance to shoot you down
Take the advice of someone who knows
just how simple it is to disguise your frown

take one step, take another.
don't look at a single face
keep your eyes low, DON'T SPEAK
don't you know?
they're in the business of grace

trace a steady line
from your heart
to your head
when the clock strikes nine
make sure that
you are dead
