Jezebelle
Elisa Fort
Waiting in the dark again
The only time I was free
nobody saw I was scared
His dirty nails graze my skin
Leaving a trail like a slug
nobody said I deserved better
To the same tattered motel
To the same putrid sheets
nobody taught me this wasn’t life
He asks me to undress
And pretend I am a doll
nobody told me I was special
My eyes remain closed
I try to forget where I laid
nobody ever held me tight
He’s out the door without a word
I wipe the spit from my cheek
nobody wants to stay
I haven’t cried in years
I don’t feel much anymore
nobody will come to save me
