Pretty Red Dress
Location
A pretty red dress,
That’s all I remember,
A pretty red dress
On A pretty girl,
A pretty red dress
On a pretty girl
During a lonely night,
yes that’s what I remember,
On a lonely night,
She drank
In her pretty red dress,
To drown the sorrow
To forget the bruises
That covered her skin,
She drank
To repress the memories,
Where was she going in that pretty red dress,
No one knew,
All that was known,
Is that she looked pretty
In that pretty red dress,
Her supple lips,
Painted red,
Just like her pretty red dress,
Her eyes blue,
like the marks born on her skin,
Held such passion, such pain,
Such life,
Like a fallen snow
After her sorrows were drowned,
After her memories were repressed,
After her bruises swirled drunk,
She was left alone on the corner,
In that pretty red dress,
While the stars gave audience
To her pretty sight,
They called to her,
Begging for an encore,
That was five years ago,
When I saw that pretty girl
In that pretty red dress
Standing alone on that corner
swaying back and forth
dancing to beat of her own heart
drunk in lust
lusting for comfort
that was never found,
No one remembers her face though,
or how she sounded,
No one remembers what she drank,
nor do they remember how she smelt,
because all that was found,
was her pretty red dress.
