Broke - Versus You

I stare at your photograph

A bird’s eye view of you

You follow my every move

With those dizzying bedroom eyes

I watch them close

As they explode

You’re blue in the face my dear

An expression so blank, so low

You can tell me what’s haunting you

I’m afraid you were born afraid

You took my soul

I kiss your feet

So broke and I’m not saving you

You break every day the same way

So close I can almost taste you

You close the box of memories
