the girls go secretly to bed
with their backs to the doorway.
whether they pass on to sleep doesn't matter.

they turn on.
bitches don't wear black.
they wear soft colored nightgowns
and we hear better in the dark.
the girls wake up and turn their heads.
there were lights in the hallway.
shouldn't they go back to sleep
if there's no light to turn on?
bitches don't stand back.
they just wait in the hallway
and we hear better in the dark.
i could count the cars from bed.
(there were lights in the hallway.)
down the middle I see red
but there was no sound to turn on.
bitches don't stare back
they just fade out the detail.
and we hear better in the dark.
i did not mean to leave you this
but there was nothing else to leave.
you are all that I can see and you don't come to me.
bitches don't flash back
they just fade in the background.
and we hear better in the dark.
i did not mean to hand you this
but there was nothing else to me.
you are all I need and you're so willing.
bitches don't give back they just hang under retail.
and we hear better in the dark.
everybody all the same with the same story each time.
never one but many names.
all the same story each time.
vicious love attack and create all the details.
we hear better in the dark.
