in this dress

i'm just a damsel
in this dress

watching you sit by yourself
ignoring me
  mad about something
   making me almost cry,
but not
            because i got my makeup specially done for tonight

i'm just a damsel
wanting you to save me

but you won't listen to my pleas
you won't even dance
    i chip my french manicure
    down too many rye and gingers
    hate you

in this dress

so much was planned for this night
my fairy tale was supposed to come true

in this dress

a dress up version of me
nothing changed
except my perception of you

i'm just a damsel
with a dress
                    (and no prince)
