At This Point In My Life by Tracy Chapman

inertia

there is no    (in)
between

with me...    i wallow
on the shallow brink

of imperfection,
walking the line
between

a plethora of sights
and a

euphemistic lack
of money:

it is
a minutia   of love,

like glass   in a window
closed hard

in front of my face.  i lurk
downtrodden
and disheveled

on an outside ledge

i cling  halfheartedly   to the dream of you

(and brightness)

like some gargoyle queen
of the night.
i try so hard

to be still...
