Meaningful Melancholy

Christine Sutliff

 

Adorned in a city of lights and smog

one may have noticed that things tend to go wrong

For C it’s a little more complicated

All C wants is a life of her own with a little more meaning

So she looks to those who know her

K just wants to be embraced by more than a bottle of some

sweet tasting long island that for a short while quenches her intense thirst

At first A feels the need to be loved and understood

but how could someone love a man

who would rather bump some snow up his breathers,

 rather than give her a little tickle, a little teaser

Hunter just wants to catch a ride……….to A’s to hide his pain by

                bumping 6-20 lines within a few hours

For some you may think times like these go sour but they don’t

Hunter decides the trip is worth the travel

So he brings along B

B wants to see what goes on at the “party”

Of course he forgets to tell his baby’s mama, who’s eight months

                pregnant, where he’s about to go

His 45 minute trip for a little blow

Before one forgets to mention another serious matter not brought to

                your attention

B and Hunter know a guy named Kev

Kev met C at A’s and things began to progress

and then suddenly digress when he decided not to call

I guess when caught in the hype everything that rises must fall

C just wanted a little more meaning

K just wanted to be held instead of drink

I guess life is a little more complicated than we think

A just wanted to breathe in another

Hunter just wants to be closer to home and his mother

B just wanted to get away from reality by leaving the countryside and coming to the big city

Kev justs wants to live by the three L’s: Live, Leave, Lie

Who would have thought it would be so hard to say goodbye

In a city filled with lights and adorned by smog

Things always seen to go wrong

Until someone is smart enough to say so long
