everyone im meeting is depressed
everyone hates this city

i always seem to move
in to worse weather
raining, snow
ice and cold

head down
im braced against wind

head down
i miss my friends

why i need to fucking move out.

back and forth
i am being tugged
i hate you
dependency is sickening
how did this happen?
i give my all
partnership is laughing, standing
empty palms up

do i think it was a mistake?
yes.

but what am i to do.
what would i have done?
all the places i could be.
all the people i could meet..
and now i just sleep

waiting for the morning
to start drudgery all over.

wasted youth
on a quest for love.
once again, i am stranded
but bound

you are free
to do as you please

and no,
you're not coming home tonight.
