The Girl in Green

I saw you dance with her last night.

The girl in green?

Beneath the light

she swayed like she was born to charm

and curled inside your arm?

The girl in green?

She won you fast

like love was in a glass?

You drank her smile

you drowned in gin

and never looked back again?

She kissed you like I used to do?

With lips so bright

and heels so new?

I wore my best?

But couldn't compete

with saddened feet?

The girl in green?

She twirled your fate?

And I stayed out too late?

Now every song is bittersweet

since she danced you off your feet.
