your song
by Callie E. Butler
The first time I heard
your song,
I stood naked,
my clothes scattered along
the bathroom floor.
The first time I heard
your song,
I was only sixteen
and battling the world.
The first time I heard your song,
I wept salty tears
that joined droplets of water
along the dirty sink.
The first time I heard
your song,
changed the words and began to dance,
pretending not to hear.
