She Was Robbed Once

from Great Writing From A Mastermind by The Bitter Poet

/

lyrics

She’s in Brooklyn.
On the 4th floor.
Her apartment was robbed once.
Some drunk friends left the door open.
All the computers were taken.
She didn’t seem to care.
She just shrugged
and kept rolling along.

I was amazed.
I would have reacted differently.
For me, the storm clouds would have landed on my head
And the earth would have swallowed me.
Like in the bible.

She shrugged and smiled.

I see that and I think,
“Stay close to that,
hang onto that,
don’t let that go.”

about

The Bitter Poet Brooklyn, New York

The Bitter Poet's anti-folk, indie-rock, musical storytelling is darkly humorous, intense, gritty. His songs are honest to a fault, yet over-the-top and grandiose in the style of Tom Waits or Nick Cave.
Musically, his straight-ahead rock chords and carnival-like lyrics blend humor, pathos and outrage. He has been described as “Lou Reed meets William Shatner” and “The Doors meet Jack Nicholson.”
