you will be remembered

she yawned
then fell from grace
invited him in
or let him take her
for granted
she can't remember which
only the colors
of the world her father showed her
in stories
and by example
had now lost their definition
and in black and white
instead
up jumped the devil
to prod her
to sneer
to tell his friends
she didn't even know
and it mattered
to her daddy
and it matters now
so far away from grace
and the light
dimmed by neglect
batteries on the cheap
a life with no meaning
who will be the one
to catch her fall
to brace the wheel north
now that her dad is dead
now that she drinks
shame
to oblivion
to forget
what she remembers
to forget
she is only biding her time
an accidental protagonist
for tall tales
of conquests
treasures won and lost
by boys
with little dicks
