Little Black Dress ... By Naima Alam


Deadly sins put out the Light within
And slice off the goodness in our souls

Like an operation for conjoined twins


We all desire to make others envious
Love to show off some skin 

Our bodies are little black dresses 
Cut above the knee

The spaghetti straps
Covered by our long flowing tresses

We borrowed our dresses from our Friend

Have worn it to parties to make the other girls jealous 

To leave the boys impressed


But they reek of cigarette smoke 

And in more places than one 

We've spilled a few drops of alcohol


By the smell of it too 
It's evident we've been a little bit intimate 
With the strangers we've been eyeballing after all

Where the heck did we go ???
What kind of wild party was this ???

The scent says it all 


And among many others
It's one gathering we'll wish
We missed


Whose perfume have our dresses been doused in ???

Don't answer 

It doesn't matter  

It's a scent we weren't supposed to leave this world in (c)
