not just obsessed Poet Free verse

I know the score

Draped in malheureuse  
I wear it head to toe
All i’d be is trouble 
In case you didn’t know 
I’ll linger at the bar and hope your eye catches mine
Is that a chain around your neck? 
is it supposed to be a sign? 
That our paths aren’t meant to cross, your soul calloused, mine too soft 
To intertwine with yours on this drunken dark night.

So come over to the bar and you’ll find a surprise 
just one word, a sip and you’ll feel the ground rise
it could be so easy, let’s find a place to hide 
we don’t have to tell your friends, secrets live inside.

Jump into the cab with me and put your hands in mine
Soften my bruised lips;  we’re running out of time 
sultry whispers in my ear, it’s like your glad to be here so let’s just lay,  don’t walk away 
don’t curse this night,
just because it feels right.

I’ve done this all before, so I know the score
you’ll say you had fun, but I know you’re glad it’s done and I’ll carry the weight of your choice. 
I’ll convince myself it was nothing but in years to come I’ll still remember your voice. 

You’ll be quick to shut the door,  leaving me wanting more and forgetting what you left behind.
You’ll do some soul searching and question your urges but decide that there’s nothing to find.

Each day will pass, with the sun comes rain;
I’ll keep your jumper and keep your chain in the hope that you’ll venture to me again.
