Writing Wednesday: “Weekends”

March 2, 2016 by Emily Dill 1 Comment

Midnight always leaves a mark
Mouth going 60, brain in park

Take his hand, take a chance
Pretend you ever learned to dance

Overreact, push him away
Pull him back because you want him to pay

Twirl your hair, tug at your dress
Fake a smile though your makeup’s a mess

Bass is thumping but it’s all too loud
Surrounded by bodies but alone in a crowd

Shedding eyelashes like tears
Some on the table, some in the beers

Swear off drinking, swear off men
Knowing well you’ll do it again

Fall in love every Saturday night
Fall back out when the lights aren’t so bright

    Beautiful! “Mouth going 60, Brain in Park” – that’s awesome. I love, love, love your way with words. VERY creative, unique, emotional, and beautiful.
