Somewhere between crying and coming
she slipped away
Sharp as a needle prick
Stubborn as a record skips
Thinking about leaving
she slipped away
Like a leaf drops from a tree
she slipped away
And God said "Let there be light"
And she slipped away into that light
Then into the dark
into a corner alone
She
Like a rock along side the train tracks
Like the shriek of train breaks
Like nicotine stains and broken glass
Like stress sweat on a pillow case
Don't push her away
Watching her eyes roll to the back of her head
like she had already gone
like she was already dead
Coughing into the toilet bowl
Hanging from a stripper's pole
You can see her footprints
blowing across
the blueprints of life
That's when you realize
all the hurtful lies
And you want her back
but she's slipped away
all away
all the way
