medusa
Age seems a treacherous monster
You bargain with her as she lays her hands on your neck
She tells you nothing’s going to happen for a while
And the very next day, your hair’s gone gray
The love’s gone away
She talks in your ear like she owns you
She says things to you
Does things to your body
That make you fear her
She’s nothing
She’s all talk
You seem to be attracted to women with bite
She acts like she does
She doesn’t have teeth
I’m not fond of things that take my place in occupying your mind
She’s Medusa
She only has power if you look her way
Don’t look
Keep your eyes on mine
You’ve got the time
You’ve got every second of it until we both run out
