Here
By violetfyre
I am still right here Looking out over a shallow town While down south, Angel makes a drug run And Beauty will only wear high-heeled boots. Love's wearing a leather leash And I am still right here With kids who can't hold their liquor Or a straight face Long enough for the cops to pass. Love's screaming lyrics to distorted guitars And I am still right here Amid basketball games and muddy fields Where kids used to get fined For rolling on rainy days. Angel is howling at the moon Confused about animal instincts After ten too many swigs of Jack Daniels. Beauty's cheeks are lined with tears and mascara Her lipstick's smudged, her dress is torn She looks to be the ugliest thing in the world. And Love is the only one that hasn't lost his mind He reads St. Vincent-Millay on a velour blanket Wishing God would quit taking all the credit for his work He says, "I am still right here." ** Written February 20th, 2002 © on Feb 20 2002 03:00 PM PST 18 • 0 • 10
