Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.

I saw her at the
Crossroads, black dog at her heel
A torch in her hand
Another drink, a day gone
Torch burning in the darkness
Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.
