sick to
your stomach
early morning
outside some
bagel shop
watching the sun
rise over
the houses
and she never called
you were out late again
and it
only gets worse
and worse
these women
they want your soul
want your heart
they stop for
nothing
how do you resist?
every ounce of dignity
filtered away
through the drinks
and the tongue and the
teeth and the temptation
how do you resist?
until next thing you know
you're sick
outside some bagel
shop
hoping no one sees
waiting for her to
call
because those other women
they come for your soul
they come for your heart
but they won't find it
they won't find it
it's a thousand
miles
to the north
and you want to
hear her voice
just one more time
but she still
won't call
