By the Hair

You thought you had me by the hair, While you tossed my heart To and fro Across a tennis court Just because I was your insurance policy That you kept in your back pocket Or so you thought Until that frigid morning I disappeared Halfway across the globe Just so I could Untangle my long blonde hair From the harsh grip Of your twisted thoughts. Maybe body surfing Did the trick Right into the salty waves That slammed the soft sand With a certainty That right then You became a history book A scary chapter That sealed itself shut With a hammers blow So that I could never take a second look While you thought You had me by the hair.
