Boxes and Duck Tape

Boxes and Duck Tape

-20 March 2008-

I'm sad and thats an understatement
they grabbed their boxes and the duck tape
they packed up their lives and drove away
now I'm left here on the sidewalk in the cold
goddess love me, I've never felt so old.
she didn't look at me last time I went by
my sister hasn't been to school in days
or so I was told yesterday by her teacher
with tears in my eyes I'm crying as they're gone
I may never see them again and thats all right
Its all right, Its all right
I know I'll be fine, I'll be okay
I wrote you a letter, mom
telling you that I'm moving on
I thought of mailing it to you
but I dont know where that is now
I don't know where that is.
stuck in the world of mess
onto the pavement lies
my heart in my chest
Its still beating
barely breathing
I promise I'm not going too far
I'll find you someday no matter where you are
they grabbed their boxes and their duck tape
and packed up their home
somehow I've never been so cold
I'm sad and thats an understatement
they left me alone.. barely broken
now I'm on my own, with no mistakes yet.
will someone pick me up and help me out
I need a family of friends to help love myself
to be there when times are tough
I'm calling you out... where are you?
stand up and shout because I can't see you
I can't feel you, where are you now?
where are you now? answer me please....
answer me.
