Ashtray Monday

But

But

Fires go out

Started strong

But

But

All up in smoke

But

But.

/

Now I don’t want to show my face

Don’t belong, misplaced

Bent

Useless

But

But

Fires go out

God, fires go out

All up in smoke.

/

Out of position, listen, something important missing, switching to tears

Rainfall, I’m unprepared, please God give our daily bread

But I’m disobedient or hard of hearing fearing abandonment due to stupidity, you’re kidding me saying I’m still wanted

Then why do I feel worse, please check your books again am I stifled under a curse verse after verse hope dispersed until I can’t taste

Cigarette butt ashtray waste.
