The Forgotten Side of the Moon

The Girl in the Burning Dress

You said you loved me

And my heart danced

I still remember the butterflies I felt when your lips met mine

How naive was I

You claimed you loved me

But I also remember you wanted me to look like the girls you had compared me to

I gave you my all

And you gave me nothing but internal bruises

I let you take my hand

And just like the story of the devil and the young girl,

We danced all night long

And I trusted you

Even as my dress and heels burned
