Mar 2017
I was once a desired thing,
Long hair, wide eyes and tiny shoulders.
I was once a wilder thing,
No staying in, even when the air was colder.

See me now,
Smothered in on and under you.
See me now,
Burying regret, resentment and the truth.

Remember me when,
I had oysters, pearls and diamonds galore.
Remember me when,
The whole ocean knocked on my door.

Keep an eye on me now,
A bittersweet ***** with only one way to go.
Keep an eye on me now,
Back to the Woman I know.
