Samson by Regina Spektor

terrycloth

holding on to
non slip

buckets

i wash the floors, a
cinderella

reincarnate

and
i watch you    try to fly.
in

a cage  (you are a bird)
mocking me,

trying not to cry,
being

a girl   and

i look in the mirror.
even

with the fake red lips (i)
can't forget you,

the boy who broke my heart,
the

boy who clipped my wings. i
keep cleaning.
