The girl with tangerine lips


I stood in the street
Watching the city pass by
Kaleidoscope dreams

The bright lights flashing
The sad song of traffic noise
The scent of decay

I was quite alone
Stranger among the thousands
Until I saw her

She cocked her cute head
The girl with the tangerine lips
Her timeless question
 
Why did she choose me?
How could I tell her story?
Whose daughter was she?

  3. Every woman, no matter how far she has fallen, is someone's little girl.
