Another Face

Something we see every day Never perceive one the same Those that wear Glasses, pouter rings, paint Dressed for attention, give attention Say less Expression says no interest Black brown red-blond burnet Oblivious to who cares. Who cares? No one but self, self-care, take care Will not go out of my way Rather stay a stray More than a few left confused Body in denim Legs in corduroy Flower pattern back Compliments given Taken, not taken What to do? No need; I'll do Butterflies create a knot Stomach gut like a punch Rejection after shooting your shot Waste, waste, just another face Waste, waste, just another face Live in the present Reflect on the past Don't get toused Neglected like trash Look around Another passed by A beat skipped With no peep slipped Caught in thought The body or not A glance creates a reaction Heart-racing thoughts hazy Here I go Will you be my lady? Will you be my lady? I don't want to come off as a creep Compliments corny and cheese She replies with a pass I leave you be Left alone, counting sheep, sleep Butterflies create a knot Stomach gut like a punch Rejection after shooting your shot Waste, waste, just another face Waste, waste, just another face Live in the present Reflect on the past Don't get toused Neglected like trash
