when Janie lost hope


I want to go home
were the words she said
while she lay alone
in a stranger's bed
all that alcohol
went straight to her head

no one beside her
completely alone
feeling forsaken
and dry as a bone
she packed up her things
and she left on her own

          by the harsh light of the morning
          she walked the city streets
          back to her apartment
          she finally admitted defeat

but she'll be all right
it's a matter of time
given some distance
she'll end up just fine
but for now she had nothing
no way she could cope
that was the moment
when Janie lost hope
