Named Gloria
her eyes tell the story of a bitter love, gone awry
her tears drain across her face
her face and I...
I wipe them slowly away,
I give her my poetry
and sing...
self titled
and described
she's alive
and denied
her name is Gloria
and she's arrived
she's got her back against a wall
flames within her eyes
...her name is Gloria
she packed last night feeling' down, and around
i felt her lightly pass my skin, her night gown
as she tossed it on the floor
and wrestled her way in to her denim jeans
my favorite T
and sandals...
she's a bible
name inscribed
she's alive
and on time
her name is Gloria
and she's arrived
with her back against the wall
and flames inside her eyes
she says goodbye
and just when you think she's gone for good
she says Hello, misunderstood...
she's got back on her favorite dress
she's just confused, but so is my guess...
...her name is Gloria
