Evening Wear

Waited there, until it was 10 pm

You promised you would meet me then

But you never showed

Checked my phone,

You never even sent a text

I knew just what was coming next

Found my own way home

Standing there, on the corner

In my evening wear

Trying to act as if it didn't care

In the middle of nowhere

Was it a dream, we laid on the pudding green

Cooling

The sprinklers came on, our clothes came off

We stayed until the sun came on

And shared our love, our secret

But the heat, it's all to stand

I can't breathe, I scratch my skin

Until I bleed, and somehow it feels good

Wrong or right, you kissed me on my porch last night

I stayed up till the morning light

Saying hello to emptiness

It's all my fault

I should've lied to you

And played the part

If I was smart

I would have memorized

The perfect lines

Never shared my secrets.
