Winsome Drifter

Jump from topic to topic
Repeat yourself to make it stick

Don't buy your love
From the thrifter
'Cause love will make you
A winsome drifter

Ever lonely, always ceding
Pleasant eyes, always pleading
"Take me away"

And yes, you'll pray,
But never leave the
Hollow home you've
Worked and weaved

As a nest
As a bed
As a rest
For your head

Not the living
Instead
For trouble
For the dead.
