Counting

So many nights

She's still unsure

But heard that noone knows what happens tomorrow

One doesn't agree

.

She stares at the ground

At every step

So she doesn't trip

Two won't catch her anymore

.

A little silence

Can't go unmarked

But she can't pretend

Not to see him sway

He never promised her anything

Three won't stay

.

And she's topless in the bar again

But he doesn't know

That what she's scared of

She won't hesitate to show

Four gave her his jumper

.

She swaps poetry

Between each refresh

And fires questions

To put him to the test

Five isn't wanted

.

Six gave her a chocolate

In return for her smile

Or to stop her from singing

.

He wore stripes one day

And stuck in her mind

Seven barely realises

That she's alive

.

Eight says he'll miss her

As he boards the plane

But with miles inbetween

It couldn't be the same

Not with her memory

.

She tends to be a panthress

And capture her prey

Noone says no to her

But someone will someday

She didn't listen to Nine

.

She giggles as she waits

Just a villager in her cottage

On a lane somewhere

I could tell her what she waits for

But it wouldn't be fair

Number ten.
