After a looonnnngggg writing stoppage, this is my first work in some 6-8 months. I'm just now getting back into writing, so it isn't great or anything. I'm tinkering with my writing style, going with what I really want to write these days. I hope you enjoy.

"Zoe"

Think back to better days
Think about all the ways
They said you can fly
Let you down, made you cry

Oh but you won't die

Well now I'm dancing
To the beat of the world
Kissin' whores and lonely girls
Oh baby I'm so alive

I'm so alive

Wide-eyed Zoe's out in space
It don't take much to replace
The shine in her eyes
Just a little shot here
A little sip there
And she's gonna fly
Fly so high
Oh couldn't you just die

Only spoke when Lennon told her
Lord knows she ain't a soldier
Momma's little girl got older
Now she's momma's little bitch on the corner

The sidewalk just ain't no fun
So she's livin life on the run
Hopin' Jesus saves the sinners
But you know he only keeps the winners

So let's send this out to show her
That this ain't no crying shoulder
Just the devil
Laughing at the rebel
And she's only gettin' older

Wide-eyed Zoe's out in space
It don't take much to replace
The shine in her eyes
Just a little shot here
A little sip there
And she's gonna fly
Fly so high
My lord, who'll be the first to die?

Thanks a lot....I don't know, reaction to my writings is mixed. I guess I've written so many of these things that people tend to pass them by these days.
