September - Jackopierce

What was the name she gave herself?

They called her September

She wasn’t known for much except

Her legs and her temper

He had enough money to get a date back in his place

She kept the lights low to avoid his face

He grabbed her arm a little too hard

He was rough when she pulled away

She started running for the stairs

He thought it was all a game

She’d rather die than be abused again

She broke his grip high now on adrenaline

She pulled a pistol from her purse

Screamed the party was over

Not the brightest man in the world

He reached for the revolver

She cocked the handle back and put one into his chest

And watched him fall down the stairs to his final rest

She thought it best

She turned off all the lights and stereo

She sat in the morning breeze and watched the sun glow on the city below

She sang, «La-la-la…»

What was the name she gave herself

They called her September
