Giving Up
I wait for you with bated breath
In a drunken haze
I try to envision myself as
Seductress
Knowing full well
I am a silly woman
Knowing you are undoubtedly
Unaware of my position
In this smoke filled carnival
Across the tinkling of glass to glass
And all the laughter spurred by
Unsteady brazeness
The enormity of the absurdity
Offends me
So I stagger home
Decidedly tired of trying
