Lines of Sand

Then of course it did.
How do we sing these songs?

We sang the night away
Intimidating everybody everyday
Beyond what we knew was true
The outcome came out of the blue

We are no longer her slaves.
The siren song no longer worked on us.

I've become most immune
To those offers of the afternoon
Looking back, I say "No more!"
As I bolt quickly out the door.

I've seen her eyes.
I know her board and many games.

I journeyed off the beach
Out of the siren's accursed reach
But lines of sand remain on the pavement
The leftover of only a poison most fragrant
