XV. Flat Priorities

Hot showers at night,

All those tears down the drain,

Did you hear how she whispered,

How she yelled your name?


She might have been distant,

But you couldn't tell,

Guess you were too busy trying to pretend,

That you were important, that you were like them.


But now you have seen that they did not care,

If you were well-known or if you were moneyed.

You have not seen yet, how that is just a way,

Of not having goals, of living short-term.


Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

Do you feel the suffering, do you feel the pain?

She wanted your love, but you could not see that.


Well now you can tell me,

how is your new flat?
