You have a butter stain on my sheets
Oh democracy!
You asked me if I wanted to see
I said thank you and please
You took me out of your cage
Just to play with me
You cooperated
Just to placate me
We went dancing down to the beach
Twirled round those old palm trees
We drank plastic gin and saltwater sea
A whole ocean of blue collapses in on me
I wasn't safe
I gave it all away
You looked at me through the tree branches
Competitively
Tugged at my sleeve and teased me
You didn't mean it
You felt the cold chest of my lover
I refused to see
You are a brother
To me
We stayed in, held ransom by the wind
Chilled bones underneath your skin
We drank plastic gin and stayed awake just listening
To a soundless violence, a recent hymn
I wasn't safe
I gave it all away
I wasn't safe
I gave it all away
