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
