Dodge & Burn

She attempts to escape his harsh words

Shuffle to the left

A shadow stepping in time

Why does he holler this way

It’s all he’s ever known

Why didn’t she just bite her tongue

Her cheeks flush with shame

No where to escape to

Shawdow left, Shadow right

Cars and buses pass by

Mind refuses to let go two stops later

Love doesn’t have to be this way
