He promised so little and yet gave even less. He took all that she had to offer and then left her in her tattered dress. She used to love her dresses and how they’d swish and twirl She made a vow to never wear the remains of that precious little girl. She ran away into the night and vanished into the air She learned that cooking skills provide the mighty frying pan She learned to tear the trousers she wore before anyone got the chance She learned to get away with crimes against the stupid men Burn the frills away

Frills
