well, screw that

someone tell her she's a fool -
that she's gotten herself worked up
and the marble floor is really fine,
but the scratches and the dents
look so worn.

worn (adj): wearied; exhausted.

well, that's what she is. and she knows it, too.
she knows that you can't really go on
loving and living if there's nothing to love.
like a leather coat that's past it's day,
it was good once.
but it's so much easier to throw it away.
isn't it?

though maybe she's just a dream,
and he's putting thoughts in her head.
remnants of a ride that made him just a little queasy.
but it doesn't matter -
they'll do what's easy.
