Old Party Girl
March 28th 2010 10:22
She’s an old party girl
Who misses the scene.
She’s longing for short thrills
At hot spots she’s been.
She squeezes into a short dress,
and covers herself in fake tan
She stares at herself in the mirror
wondering why she still hasn't found a real man.
She rocks up at the club
But she's made to go to the back
She's not hot enough this time.
She searches for familiar faces
But she’s an alien in a place she once ‘owned’
Strangers surround her
She’s now an unknown.
She was big in her day
Photos flashing here and there
Now a new generation has moved in
No one who looks at her cares.
She’s a party animal,
Trying to hold onto her youth
Now she just looks pathetic
She’s denying the truth.
Frozen in the past,
Dressing too young for her age
Her soul is empty and hurting
That no one remembers her name.
She used to get free shots from the bar
Laughing with friends
Now she’s reaching for her wallet
Longing for the attention that’s now come to an end.
She hangs around the bar
Pouting at men who just look the other way
They move towards the new crowd
The new girls they can play.
The party girl only has memories
of a pointless nights fun,
She’s trying to re-live the good times
The times that are done.
Over the years she’s filled up her loneliness,
Craving for attention
Putting her health at stake
She’s now invisible
And it hurts deep inside
Taken over with self infatuation and insecurity
That’s taking away her pride.
Downing drink after drink
And trying to have good time
She went out looking classy,
Now she isn’t worth a dime.
She’s stumbles out of that old place
Feeling betrayed
All the years that she went there
All the hours she stayed.
She’s tripping over her own feet now,
And scraping her knees….
She’s a crying mess in the gutter
People walk by and tease.
Mascara is running down her wrinkled face
as she slurs abuse at the guards
She thought she still owned the place
Now "the drunk" is barred.
What happened to the socialite,
the star of the night?
She needs to let go now
And turn off that light.
