She was no longer a user |
|
Don't think she realised we knew that |
|
Not one to make a fuss |
|
Why this and not something else |
|
Wasn't it obvious? |
|
She made such a hash of it |
|
You can't help but notice |
|
And an absence of tenderness |
|
And who wants to live like that |
|
And friends turn their backs on her |
|
She - no longer a user |
|
And she wanted to stay home |
|
With a box full of postcards |
|
And no place to send them |
|
Live like |
|
Emily Dickinson |
|
Without so much as a kiss |
|
Or the comfort of strangers |
|
Withdrawing into herself |
|
But why this |
|
And not something else |
