June 21st 1975 (Velveteen)

Such a long way from yesterday,

such a long way from tomorrow.

Too drained to be anything

other than a memory.

Loving you has landed me in utero.

Such a swaying angel,

your lips,

your hips,

your velvet voice.

I was mesmerized by your poetry.

I am still mesmerized as you're leaving me

stuck,

trapped,

and penniless.

You already know I'll still be dreaming of you,

even if you do send me to hell.

Are you still singing about me like you used to?

Are you still singing to me like you promised you would?
