another one-nighter (empty)

by Olivia Weinkein

it didnt have to be about the company
i choose to keep
sometimes
after midnight
it still doesnt
and he said he's looking for a
mona lisa-whore as he smiled at me
and touched my hand
but i was looking in a different direction
always looking somewhere else
better
and somewhere between 2 am and the
churning feeling of "should have went home instead"
i stumbled over a smile
that i swore would be the death of me
and i still cant shake that vision
not
just
yet
and his smell is still lingering
on my hands
in my hair
between my...
i know better than to let that smile
send me into the clouds
adevilindisguise
such a shit eating grin
i know better
but i'm not ready to forget that smile

i'm not ready just yet
to wash my hands
