POEM: A Downward Looking Face; Profile

[pert -5]

You get me in bed
And I do all the things you want to do
But why don't you want to see me
Or see me with your friends?

I call and write and talk and plea
And you just never answer me
I've done everything that I could
To make you like who I am

I like you as hippie, businesswoman, friend
You let me eat out of your hand
And then slap me in the face
When I try to smile

When the dark is dark
You smile at me
And get me in bed
And I do all those things you love to do
