Keyholes & Curtains
Parenthetical Girls
as long as we keep dancing darling
and the words i say still mean absolutely nothing
you'll keep yours with him
but i'll keep mine hidden
safe as houses behind keyholes and curtains
lock the door behind you darling
and box away those half full feelings
a new entry in your strained litany
of things that make you hate your body
so save your breath dear you dont have to
cause your weighted inflections speak volumes
and your cranberry cheeks betray you
so just keep yours with him
and i'll keep mine hidden
two strangers bound by nothing certain
safe as houses behind keyholes and curtains
