My Very Own Nevada

 

I was twenty-seven years’ old

my spark gone

lost all hope in love

was drowning

in my very own

sin city

 

I remember

the day

and hour

my alarm clock

died willingly

 

I felt nothing

 

I didn\'t even notice

 

every hour was the same

 

Dark

Cold

Empty

Lonely

 

I pinned myself

to a bill board

on Fremont Street once

 

but nobody saw me

 

a million tiny lights

and I still didn\'t shine

 

someone once told me

if I wanted to touch the sun

first, I’d have to climb out

of these

my deepest darkest fires of hell

 

and, I finally did …

with naked feet.
