Strawberry Ice

Can’t remember my middle name

Halloween, you and me, and a pink milkshake

I’m just a character on his stage

Enter diner, 3 A.M., press play

Life bends to him and I sway

An air dancer in imaginary rain

I don’t know where I’m going

I only know his favorite flavor is strawberry ice cream

 

Vanilla bean not worth a lick

Chocolate is a bit too rich

Dreams that die between our lips

Tattooed hand sewn on fingertip

 

I was someone on the rooftop

Autumn’s first midnight chill

Kissed goosebumps up my legs

His thigh high boots fairytale

Roses on my dress

Pink and black satin

Weaving mojito dreams

Out of strawberries

And nicotine

 

Stars fall into skyline

You said you can’t feel music

You didn’t feel pleasure at the pier

Strawberry ice cream in Texas October

Melts and disappears

 

Don’t need a costume or a cutscene

You could have had me

Whipped cream and cherries

Tying loose ends with my tongue

 

But he sips me

And then forgets me

Just like he did his baby

Strawberry ice cream
