Never Again

Never Again

Will I make midnight cab rides

To underplayed Stevie Wonder fans

To fall in love with them

And rush back home

To wash up

Go to sleep

And bite my lips

To bed

Never Again

Will I repeat digits for those who want

Company and profit

Under black and blue skies

Or roll around in comfort

To be watched by hidden eyes

Behind locked doors

Never Again

Will I work up the courage

To tell you the truth

And share my friendship

And to tell you when it’s time to go

When I’m tired

And when i will dive off building tops

Never Again

Will my love be lost

Or my time be spent

With you

Because you are a waste of time

And you make me cry

And huddle in the puddles I create

Because you are not real

And you make me mad

And make my stomach spin

Never Again

Will I be your belly dancer

Or proud pounder

Or teacher

Never Again

Will I catch you

Protect you

Or save you

Never Again
