Little Black Dress

Little black dress _ Sara Bareilles

I should've seen it coming... It's always the same, but just this once I thought it was different. There was no need to soften the words, they were still gonna hurt. During the time we were together I did everything for him. Even neglected my own needs, my own feelings. It literally felt like walking over my own heart, but now I'm finally alone. All dressed up, but I'm going nowhere.

"They don't need to see me crying." I mutter as I walk around with my little black dress on while I danced on my favorite song, slightly humming the words.

Our relationship was just like a storm. He seduced me with sweet words and charming gestures, but after he had me, he dropped a hurricane into it. But, I never gave up trying to find the ground again and now I'm back steady on my feet, getting up from my knees and I remember;

I'm more than just somebody's puppet. I can find the core and then I'll cut it, I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance.

So now I do precisely that. Singing the words to my favorite song in my little black dress, dancing and until our memories are all gone, reminding myself that nothing is wrong, but it's okay to cry... Just not to waste too much time on someone that doesn't deserve it.

Slowly the dots in my mind connect and a different picture pops up, painted with my colors and everything I ever was -I am more than just somebody's puppet. Maybe after a few days, I'll return to the places he took me, the places he broke me, my heart -the scene of the crime. And I'll rewrite his finale line because this time I-

"I get my little black dress on. And if I put on my favorite song, I'm gonna dance until you're all gone. I'll get my little black dress on. I got my little black dress on, and if I tell myself there's nothing wrong... This doesn't have to be a sad song, not with my little black dress on."

I shoot myself one more glance in the mirror and smile. The black dress fits me perfectly like always and a smile tugs at the corners of my mouth. Even though I lost myself for a while, because of him, I know that I came out stronger. And it may not be today or tomorrow or even next week, but I'll find someone who makes me happy. And not only the other way around. And that will be the only one that deserves to keep my heart.
