Victoria

by Cori S.



Victoria came by late last night, but

she just stared at me awhile

I couldn't get one word, how vile

she just kept saying, "smile"



Victoria showed up in the isle, but

she just sat down with her mind

gone somewhere else from here, beguiled,

I just kept choking bile



Some shitty part of me

wants Victoria out the picture

each stile that makes her frame

just proves to me

she can't be here

at all



Victoria showed up late to work, but

she just stared across the hall

it didn't seem quite right, that child

I knew just weren't the same



Victoria showed up someplace else, but

I just couldn't tell you where

that girl's a poster child, alright;

regret's my middle name



Some shitty part of me

wants Victoria in my picture

every stile that makes her frame

just shows to me

she can't be here

at all.
