keep me

with dark mascara tears
and matted curls
sobbing against the angry night
i pleaded with you
with a stoney solid face
you watched me fall apart
the simple threat of losing you
drove me to madness
the air was so cold
wrapped in my little black dress
i pressed my high heels into the ground
as the drunks all walked by
i turned from the prying eyes
deep into my burning pain
and i prayed to any god that would listen
that you would keep me
