The Doctor

after she broke my heart 
the doctor told me
there was nothing he could do 
he said no 
I can’t fix it 
it will have to heal on its own 
then he handed me some paperwork 
and told me to pay Cheryl
at the front desk on my way out 
at the front desk
Cheryl gave me a knowing smile 
I noticed her teeth were a little crooked
but she didn’t look too bad 
when I handed Cheryl my credit card
I leaned over and asked her 
does everybody know? 
Cheryl laughed 
but immediately touched my arm 
well, yes Cheryl said 
but don’t worry about it 
it’s okay 
when I left the doctor’s office
I drove straight to the bar 
Lou I said as I sat down 
give me the strongest thing you’ve got 
and keep it coming 
an old guy sitting a couple of stools away 
looked over at me and asked 
what’s her name? 
I took the drink from Lou
and drained half of it 
before setting the glass down in front of me
I turned toward the old guy 
her name? I said
and I laughed softly 
just give me about an hour 
and I won’t fucking care

    With a song and a whine
    You're harsh and divine
    Like truths and a lie

    But the tale end is not here
    I've nothing to fear
    For my love is yell of giving and hold on

    In the bright emptiness
    In a room full of it
    Is the cruel mistress ho ho o
    I feel the sunrise
    That nest all hollowness
    For I have the way to go not come

    And I feel so lonely yeah
    There's a better place from this
    Emptiness
    And I'm so lonely yeah
    There's a better please from this
    Emptiness

    Tune mere jana
    Kabhi nahi jana
    Ishq mera dard mera haye
    Tune mere jaana
    Kabhi nahi jana
    Ishq mera dard mera
    Aashiq teraaa
    Bheed mein khoya rehta hai
    Jaane jahaan a
    Puchho toh itna kehta hai

    And I feel so lonely yeah
    There's a better place from this
    Emptiness
    And I'm so lonely yeah
    There's a better please from this
    Emptiness yei yei yei ya
