Wrinkles are a Map

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 


wrinkles are a map
 
of her hard life

and the simple dress

is too loose in all the places

where it used to be tight



once she was his muse

and his starving

hands touched her every part

outside and inside



it's not easy to realize

she can't turn back the clock

although the wild thing
 
she used to be is trapped
 
in the darkness of her mind



she lies sometimes

but she is kind
 
and tries to heal

other broken hearts



she is hard on herself

and hates every part

from the bottom to the top

though she is loving

to everyone else she finds



she suffers all the time,

happy pills

and happy hour

numbs the child inside
 
 






 




"Wild Thing" is a 60s song written by American songwriter Chip Taylor and popularized by the English rock band the Troggs.
