just living because i have to live
some body told me
sidled up close
in an alley
behind me whispered
into the nape of my neck
i couldn't move
almost gave it all up right there
like a thief putting back
everything he ever stole
visiting each crime scene
breaking in to return stolen goods
just to live
without purpose
and steal it all over again
just living because i have to live

Re: just living because i have to live
Another clever one. Makes me think most of us if given the chance to do it over would live pretty much the way we do now....as this "thief" longs to do here.

Sinister undertones. I've never been robbed at knife or gunpoint, but I would write this if I had.
