I found myself alone. <br />Feet aching, head spinning <br />Taking a moment to rest. <br />Suddenly and sadly <br />You were in front of me <br />Your dignity to the dogs. <br /> <br />To the dogs <br />With pretences. <br /> <br />HItching her leg by the knee <br />Round your waist, slim and pressing. <br />Formal wear and heels. <br />And the bar lights catch <br />And shine through her dress. <br />Casting colour shadow. <br /> <br />All green light <br />I'm green.I'm green. <br /> <br />Head low, trying not to look <br />Trying not to look like I'm looking. <br />Sick and tired, undone. <br />And I Need another Drink <br />I'm bound.By this dress, this night, <br />Seemingly endless loss. <br /> <br />Tell me you <br />Do it to hurt me <br /> <br />I just couldn't bear insignificance.<br /><br />Lauren Michaels<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/still-what-would-have-been-dignified/
