Rated X
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
I have no tears left in the well
And everyone can go to hell
I watched them walk up to the gate
They enter in with all their hate
I went to find my partner there
Because so many had long hair
She thought she camouflaged herself
But all she did was lose her health
The paint that she put on her face
Just left her ravaged and disgraced
And now she says she longs for home
But still stands out there all alone
She uses sex, but not her brains
She only hates; no love remains
