What She Kept

What she kept was a fire escape of a love
Safety net you can only reach from above
And not from the ground
What she left was a mind
What she left behind was something you want but you don't
But nothing I ever could own

What she kept somehow silhouettes all the things it belies
Situations of obligations of separations of minds
What she left was a mind
What she left behind was more than enough to get by
But just short of coming in time

She bought out all of the slums just when I wasn't looking
Ignores my history and sells to the gentry and
And displaced the lost

What she kept wasn't something built just for show
What she kept I would long regret that I found
But never would know
What she left was a mind
What she left behind was shocking but somehow well known
It's something you want but you don't
And nothing I ever could own, no
