lost souls

wandering around

waiting tables to make cash

to feed cigarettes habits and half-empty stomachs

kissing lifeless chapped lips

to feed egos and fill voids

loving someone you wish you were fucking

and fucking someone you wish you loved.

things might seem meaningless

but then again, you find meaning in the strangest of places.

in a sweatshirt.

in a cell phone number.

in a type of car.

driving somewhere to do something that will make you someone.

day after day.

when will things turn around?

when will paychecks cover more than rent?

when will habits turn into memories and memories turn into history?

when will the clock hands move slow enough to make the minutes count towards something other than a dreary rabbit hole of existence?

when will lonely people with lost dogs or lost ambitions find whatever it is they're looking for?
