A smile cracked her face in half Right down the middle Don't hold your breath it won't last long her fingers are already growing tighter around the glass How could you tell? she thought she hid it so well but oh For those winter days The glass falls to the floor and a laugh squeezes through the air constricted. Lips stained red at the edges She sways to the music in her head kneeling in front of me saying nothing but "please, please, please" with tears in her eyes and 'love' in her throat "She's a lovely woman such a trooper raising a child on her own" they don't see her with her head in the toilet Eight different men a week. They don't see me either. |
