truth be told
she was mesmerising
that's why he buys her every night
he doesn't sink through her clothes
makes her happy
she waits for him

but he tells her to talk nice
don't cry
dress pretty
buys her food at loud restaurants
but never wants anything from her
or does he?

they never treat her like this for long
but he got her hopes high

tonight he takes her straight home
through the walls
i hear her weep
at midnight she leaves
she brushes it off
and he never returns
his promises for a better life
his promises for happiness
slips away
like the sun
at the end of her day
