Doesn't Everyone Do That
My old, sweet refrain
Beckoning in the night
Wide awake with fright
Doesn't everyone do that?
Should I call that old number
Subdivide a little guilt
For the shame of love rebuilt
Doesn't everyone do that?
I watched his eyes do that thing again
Reaching for the wanted need
Should he paint it black or let it bleed?
Doesn't everyone do that?

Love the question that this very engaging piece is built upon, I feel like this is a great foundation for extending this one further. :)

Thank you! I want to do that. Sometimes I start to feel lyrical and rhythmic in my writing...more like song lyrics. And it feels like it should end on a certain vibe or note but when I posted this that honestly was my thought that I needed to go further with it. Thank you Kristina. You are a doll 💜
