goodbye denim and splendor.
the smoke that curled around your mouth
took the shape of
a crooked knife
and i knew
that i could not contain you.
her hand on your knee,
you looked at me.
i looked back. shook my
head.
little girls, kid. little girls.
i looked to
my left. he stared.
his girlfriend wasn't there.
i looked to my right.
he called me beautiful
and asked for a kiss.
i did it quick
like a bandaid
and i looked to you.
her hand on your knee,
you looked back at me.
and i knew
that i could not contain you.
drunkenly
i kissed your neck
let you take off my shirt
i counted your freckles
and let my lipstick smear
on our mouths.
i moaned.
i wonder if she heard.
i was sorry.
because i knew
that i could not contain you.
goodbye denim and splendor.
