50th Floor

"On the ground
in Shady Pines
near your stone,
hillside, I sit
alone with you
in my mind."

On the floor
in a closet
on the 50th
floor, I sit
alone with you
in my mind.

I feel
the walls
falling around
me, and
I just
give up
and die.

On a cloud
in the sky
on the 8th
level, I sit
alone with you
in my mind.

I feel
the wind
blowing around
me, and
I fall
down through
the sky

On the ground
in Shady Pines
near your stone,
hillside, I sit
alone with you
in my mind.

I feel
the world
crumbling around
me; so,
I must
lay down
and cry.
