Empty Streets

by Trisha Hanudel - Gemini

Death to dope fiends 
Death to sex queens
Let's kill to one
That was never seen
It doesn't matter what I say
Only how much you pay
To hear the confessions 
Of a child gone astray
You fell into a cold cold trap
Thunder high above cracks
Some words, when spoken
Can't be taken back
Another dark, rainy night
You'll never put up the fight
They so desperately need
You'll never make it right
Tear-stained faces painted blue
Shadows rage after you
A heart of gold
Lies black and blue and torn in two
Glazed eyes, broken cries
Much too young to realize
Just how far you've gone
The darkness, the terrible lies
The money you've made
Tonight's kill will never fade
From anyone's soul
You'll never be okay

Reason for writing:

    we could have died
