Spent Every Penny On A Smile Poem by Jeremy Willson

I sat in front of your door
Criss crossed in the middle of the hall
Your apartment complex is so small
And theirs stains all over the floor
I sat there for over an hour because of you
Trying not to think or feel
I could hear everyone in their rooms cause there's no steel
Only thin layers of plywood I could easily punch through
But thier'd be no point my anger wouldn't dissolve
So I burned a cigarette stain onto the floor
Maybe the next guy would see it too, or maybe he won't be so poor
That's exactly why you left me, the money
All the pretty lil things that are meaningless to me
I'm a chump change loser who'd write you poetry
Give you hand picked flowers, and spend every dime
Just to see you smile one more time
Instead I'm walking down the street with a Michigan State hoodie on
A pair of five dollar shades, and a silver wedding ring to pawn
