Second Hand Store
©2006 Richard March

Searching the second hand store
Sizing the weathered and worn
Skipping the tattered and torn

Turns in the mirror to tell
Making the sale by herself
Blind to the signs seen so well

Here with the once used, hanging around
Even the slightest sparkle resounds
Sometimes it works out, love comes across
Sometimes you go home wishing you lost it
Went ahead and tossed it

Left it there on the shelf
Trusting the first feelings felt
Finally a friend to yourself

Down on his knees in the dust
Searching for lost wanderlust
Between the diamonds and rust

Flips through his feelings with sound
Music to silence the hounds
Digging and dragging him down

Slipping a sleeve off, touching her skin
What would it be like just to give in
Fingers are needles deep in her grooves
Skipping and popping, she's had some hard dues
But if he really wants to
They could dance
