starting over

2004, Leaving You

sometimes it’s easy
but tonight i’m thinking that
it’s impossible
and maybe tomorrow
it’ll be over


i see the sign
over the door that says
exit
and i'm drawn to the
red glow
there's something jazzy
about the song playing
out in the alley

i'm looking
pretty
you want to touch me
and you think i'm easy
tonight
but i just kissed
a stranger
and i hate that
shirt you're wearing

i’m laughing at the way
the door swings
and slams closed
when you’re
following me
stumbling out
dropping your stuff
swearing

it's sad you never knew
