i saw you the other night
dancing with your so-called friends
no-one dare intrude.
i saw you the other night
pretending i was unseen
but your eyes boring into me like nails to a cross
i saw you the other night
your arms around her
be gentle with her
i thought
keep your wolves at bay
and your heart open and free
i hoped you were soft
and not too eager
i prayed you let her down slowly
i wished you had just stayed home
my demon out of his lair
i saw you the other night
i held it in
i sewed it shut
i kept my pace
i don’t ever want to see your face.
