They say you will
never amount to anything,
but they are wrong.
I’ve seen you slam the night
against a chain link fence
to make it talk.
I’ve seen you flim-flam
an unsuspecting mark
from her most hidden of secrets.
Maybe you’ll grift me out
of everything I have
but the truth is
there’s a place you go
to build your language
others dare not enter
yet every evening I wait for you here,
like a damsel in distress
cursing your name under my breath.

Thanks Kellie and Catherine.
I don't comment often but I am always reading and relishing your words! Thanks for sharing your gift.
You seem way too level headed to be attracted to the bad boys!!
