The Line Up

I must have sat in that room for an hour.

Grey was light and black was normal.

The window to the other room is

very bright. They say you can see who

but they cant see you, the person with the power.

After seeing tall scruffy guys

with faces like they are holding lies.

Like it wasn’t me. Then who killed her?

Then I saw a striking black figure.

All her clothes are black

And the way that tight black

skirt is giving her hips away

is the same with those venom lips.

I see the poison dripping from the tips

of all your shadowed bits.

Flip those tight brown curls like that again.

Hold that skirt up some more.

Keep those heels on baby,

Push then down to the floor.

So I can compare you to the rest

that look like their minds have the best

ability to kill and not feel detest

with themselves.

I like that black strap on your shoes

around your ankles. Makes me melt but

Makes you fast and makes me lose.

I cant give you away

because you’ll be mine someday.
