beautiful scandalous night

I was once a tired blonde waitress feeding three kids on my own. I was an old man driving a semi and knowing America. I was a secretary, a mistress sitting in an empty hotel room, being sent flowers and thinking sex was love. I was a 47-year-old surgeon cutting corners. I was once a lawyer looking out the window on the 13th floor and thinking I'd go back to Omaha one day.
And when I was done being all of these things you met me right where I was, and my heart was clean
like
bleach
white;
a young lady, cold but not unhappy.

You've been good to me.
