I etched your name
Into my skin
Then laughed it off,
I blamed the gin.

My mother yelled,
She blew a fuse,
Told me that
I should feel used.

I didn't care though,
I felt​ fine.
We'd still share
More of that wine.

'S long as you paid,
Sly as that sounds.
I only played
On even grounds.

We kissed last night,
I'll pay tomorrow.
No, I won't ask from you
To "borrow".

I asked my dad,
He lent me some.
Let's go eat fancy,
Cheeky chum.

I don't think
This is my room.
My thoughts race but
I won't assume.

You look at me,
We can't remember
-On this went,
'til late December.

I cried into
My mother's arms.
She said to blame
Your plastic charms-

But I could not,
For I had fallen
In love, mother
Thought appalling.

We met that night
Our fingers numb,
Then Intertwined,
Pinky to thumb.

The snow falls slow,
It doesn't rush.
Like lovers, it too
Turns to mush.
