Hair Down, Lips On
I hate this place.
they made me come
hair down, lips on
to “join the fun”
another drink.
I sip and stare
they laugh, I try
but nothing’s there
but now they hush,
something is new
one points it out
they show me you
I look away
this is not me
but one more glance
says it could be
I try my best
to catch with eyes
always you slip
my gaze won’t find
but then my hopes
re-lit anew
your walk on down
to join our crew
but soon enough...
of course I’m wrong,
I was never
the “pretty” one
she wins again
the knight is hers
the dog will bark
the kitten purr
when night is done
we’ll all go home
them to their knights
I’ll sleep alone
I hate this place.
they made me come
hair down, lips on
to watch their fun
