On My Reversal of Fortune

Do you believe
(I never believed)
that karma comes around
(comes back around)
all around me like a penance
albatross
for my past bad deeds
I am all too glad to do my part
Now I believe
I carry it with pride because it means
I am alive.
I will live my life alone
I will be alone
(because Betty said)
Betty said that I have used
up all my marriage marks (all my
love marks, all my chances)
they are all used up and now I
am left with the husks of past
loves...
Oh, but that's okay okay
okay because I saved everything
everything
I still have everything and I can
set all the souvenirs around
me and pretend they are all
still here...

Are you still here?
