Lost In The Mini Mart
Lost In The Mini Mart
I got lost in the mini mart
Mesmerized by gatorade, cigarettes and pop-tarts
Later napping on your plastic coated couch
Pictures of our togetherness line the walls
I want to superglue them in place
Like pieces to a puzzle that will bring us closer to how it used to be
Instead I fall off the couch and get stuck to the things I see
I’ve had gatorade caps, cigarette butts, and pop-tart wrappers in my pockets for weeks
Waiting for you
But you got lost in the mini mart
I want to superglue them in place
Like pieces to a puzzle that will bring us closer to how it used to be
Instead I fall off the couch and get stuck to the things I see
I’ve had gatorade caps, cigarette butts, and pop-tart wrappers in my pockets for weeks
Waiting for you
But you got lost in the mini mart
