I am a girl with
a forgettable face
No matter my colour,
no matter my name
At work there is a boy
and he treats me well
My old friends
from high school,
I see them around
August is here
I can't believe how fast
Soon there will be winter
and snow on the ground
Maybe by then I could
get my own place
Closer to the city
if that's ok

But Mamma, can you feel me
As I dragged on
my day's last cigarette
He pulled me so hard off my
Very own back door steps
And he laid me in his garden
All the years
i've watched him tend
And then he took me, Mamma
So I could never

tell you about it

Inside of this moment
there are
Things I wish I could know
Like my ring size,
your ring size,
And the hour I was born
My dad's middle name,
your favourite song
Was your darkest day
as dark as this one?

Mamma, can you feel me?
As I dragged on
my day's last cigarette
He pulled me so hard off my
Very own back door steps
And he laid me in his garden
All the years
i've watched him tend
He took me, Mamma
So I could never
tell you about it
Now I'm a girl who's face
they'll never forget
