Film Noirs Gone

Film Noirs dead But the voiceover's in my head it tells of ash-can alleys and dingy motels pulp magazines tell their own tales I'm in a dark corner I'm waiting for you for a kiss before dying that's all I can do there are lonely places long goodbyes short hello's and deserted streets in the city that never sleeps I'm down and out fallen woman at my feet these urban streets bring death on the cheap there are victims of fate no one's safe nobody prays in these dark days in the dead of night everyone lies kiss tomorrow goodbye it's three in the morning and somebody dies leaves blow in the gutter there's no light or shade just our love starting to fade there are no more heroes no one to trust that's why I lost you love lies in the dust come back film noir now I walk alone neon lights flash so the whole town knows that I want you back the whole town knows that I want you back

That said, I really do appreciate your hesitancy. Thank you so much, it means a lot. I am generally good, and careful, damn near to a fault. ;), xomo

Hello Alan! You can call me Maureen, or mo. I recently changed my name here after some bullying incidents. I was referred to as a pigeon, and then for my anti bullying poem, a tart. I am however a pigeon fancier, and my partner had a clown character named Pi, so he affectionately calls me Tart. I figured if I owned them, they could not hurt me...

Hello I don't know your first name. I can hardly call you pigeon even though a couple have a nest in my garden. And tart is rude unless you put something like strawberry in front of it. But even so thank you again for your comments. As I expect you've found they drive us on. Be good. If you can't be good be careful. Alan.
