when I'm high off the scents of October night air and smokey burnt wood on your shirt I'll dress up for you, all satin and buttons and lace. when I'm drunk from one too many Gin & Tonics with purple-spotted moons stamped under my eyes and the apples of my cheeks stained with paths of saltwater I'll dress down for you, all freckles and scars and skin.
