She’s Completely Gone…



My best friend tried to warned me

About the way she always lied…

Even her brother warned me

That I would feel empty deep inside…


My own mother tried to warned me

She’s not the right girl for you…

I was listening but wasn’t hearing

What was I supposed to do…


No matter how hard I tried to see

She simply wasn’t there…

No matter how hard I loved her

She simply couldn’t care…


If I keep holding on to a love

That was never real…

My heart will continue to be broken

And sadness is all I feel…


I want to let go of this feeling

And simply move on and on…

But it’s hard to except the fact that

My lover is completely gone…


Isolation is like solitary confinement

I’d rather be shot at dawn…

It’s so hard to except the fact that

My lover is completely gone…

She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
