Shameless

She throws the clock 
Half way across the room 
For the alarm sounded too early 
Forgetting she set it herself 
She stretch and turns the other way 

Last night she was at a party 
She drunk her shame away 
When she came back 
It was half past midnight 
She was half asleep anyway 

She jumps on the bed 
Forgetting her shoes and dress 
She was long gone before she could reset the alarm

She has class at 8:00am 
It's 8:10am already 
The teacher can teach the tables and chairs 
For she has no interest today 
For last night she drunk her shame away
