I see her head.
And it's her. She's there. Oh God, she's there.
Her head is lying in front of me, and I can't. Oh God, I can't.
She's there and I can't.
I can't vent.
I have no shoulder to to cry on.
She's there and I can't.
I can't sleep.
I have no pillow to rest on.
She's there and I can't.
I can't win.
There's no merciful carnie here.

I see no prize to be won.
And it's not Her. She's not there.
She's not in the stall and I throw the ball and I hit. But the carnie keeps Her away from me anyway.
Loss. Loss was Flower, Flower is lost.
