Dirty arms wrapped in dirty sleeves
Streaks of snot sun glistening
A holy prayer in holy jeans
The only thing he has left clean
A broken pair of asphalt shoes
Arm tattoo with born to lose
Eyes that stare in red and pale
His Beggars sign reads
Nothing left to sell
..
Then I realize we played as kids
I wondered what the hell he did
His smile he gave to me so free
I bought from him his misery
..
For Sale: Broken heart, asphalt shoes, sign that reads “born to lose”
