interlude: so she cried
she had out of control crazy hair
and it bobbed slightly in front of her forehead when she talked
her hand would brush it away from her face
and it would fall back as soon as her hand had lowered itself
she smiled quickly and easily
without hesitation
i sat next to her in her car
as we drove around the misty city
the frost forming on the windows as we went
i looked out the window while she talked, she was always talking
i let her
she was talking about her man, her boy, her lover
she had a specific name for him but i forgot it
but she was telling me about this fantastic position they did in the bathtub last night, and how there is a bruise now on her back and she would yell at him for being naughty later, and let him show her it again
she had a mischievous grin
the little nimph
but then she turned serious on me, crazy thing
and spoke of marriage, and love and how he had better propose to her before three years or his ass was taking a beating
she wanted marriage
she wanted a ring
she wanted someone around
sometimes she looked sad and angry at the same time
these combining features of her eyes flashing but her mouth was set with sadness
she had loved before
7 years worth of love, and he kicked her over for her best friend living in the apartment up from them
she took the dvd player
rightly so
i asked her if she would take him back if he wanted her, after all these years
and her bruised back
and saddleshod hips
she said no
she loves him yet
or else there wouldn't of been that sadness, that sundering sadness hanging on
but sometimes it has to hang on
cause thats all you got
