the district sleeps alone tonight (an elaboration)
02-19-2003

i was the one worth leaving
i'm always left with that feeling
you're not the one who's grieving
someone's done their thieving

pacing paths around the complex
you'd think there was a conquest
or maybe some cheap contest
it can't be that simple; unless...

maybe it's a matter of trust
breaking through a body of rust
you'd find it thin like the earth's crust
in fact you'd find it a must

to fall asleep i stare at the ceiling
i think it holds some meaning
the hours continue depleting
i've got the same thoughts repeating
