Window shopping
Her latest fling was trying to muster the nerve to say in plain English he wanted to be single-
But she had already read the signs in his body language, I guess he never knew she was bilingual-
Her hopes were cuffed on trial inside her chest,
Love had a public defender, but it never stood a fair test -
It took the plea deal, maybe that’s why she settled for less -
She put a freshly ironed smile on every day, even though she was still healing -
She wanted to dress modestly, so she covered up her feelings-
She never pulled her emotions out of the closet because it was too revealing-
She knew most of the men were just window shopping. They only deemed her physically appealing-
They wanted possession, not attachment, it was for access-
Love interest became like modern payments, contactless-
She fell for the speed of love at first sight
But shattered when she saw how fast fashion bites-
She was wife material, but the male gaze cut her down -
Like sleeves trimmed short to fit the fashion now
The old saying, hurt people hurt people was stuck in her head like a melody -
She is done with confusing a mutual connection for someone else's retail therapy -
She was done languishing on racks, with price tags that were attached to her-
No longer will she be imprisoned by labels, even if they were heralded like clothes from a designer -
Now, she is the only seamstress who could design her-
She walked out of the store with confidence, the security didn't even flinch-
Since no alarms went off because all her tags had been removed.-
