It was her birthday today
She sang a string of covers
Feeling a bit peculiar
Downed a triple espresso
Disappeared without a word
The streets were chilly
She wished the passerbys’ disappearance
Catching a glimpse of her reflection
Wiped the mascara from her cheeks
Sniffed up this articulate pain
He had said forget me
She pretended to make light of him
Drifting constantly in memories shared
All that wasted devotion of him
Couldn’t be who he wanted her to be
It was a full moon tonight
She started singing right there
Searching for the pulse of her heart
Lit up by the healing power of music
Danced it off like a queen
