still

still(11/06/04)

i turn my back and start to walk away
reach in my pocket for a "Hershey"
i end up with a deep sigh, empty
my throat is getting dry, a pity
i look up to see a sign of seven
that familiar logo, yellow green
would I get a soda or slurpees?
to soothe my throat, to refresh

two men looking at me as if I were food
they are up for something not good
as I walk towards the door
i hear a song that's not easy to ignore
"there's no sunshine, when she's gone"
my heart starts to pound
the music has taken control of my mind
overwhelmed I have to run away
tears falling, i need to see my way.
