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
