Woman and The City

Taking a long drag from the cigarette

The answering machine is blinking

The city below unfurling in the evening rush

Smog around me in the balcony

Still the answering machine is blinking

What will it be this time?

A liar, a cheater, a faker, a tramp?

Heartless words to disguise broken heart

Words that even my bracelets can't stop

Piercing deep into my soul

Another drag of the cigarette

The full moon is rising

I pulled out the cord from the machine

Now it has stopped blinking

Need to remember to reset it later

And why can't I reset?

Why can't I erase memories and feelings?

Why can't I be careful with my loyalty

What's the point of being honorable?

Why can't I just reset?

The memories live by, the feeling unforgotten

No matter how much I said to let it go

The Invisible Plane could take me anywhere

But nowhere is far enough to escape this feeling

So here I am, smoking my cigarette

A million lives are saved

But I am too much of a hassle

An army of enemy defeated

But I am not strong enough

Am I even ever good enough for them?

Another drag of cigarette

Then another, and another

Wondering is Catty up for fun tonight

Or go tinkering with Ivy

Or maybe just stay here and ponder

Not my fault they can't handle me

And maybe I should stop preying the weak

They are so nice and helpless and lovable

But they have such nasty bites and venom

Avoid, Diana. Avoid.

I am the princess of the Amazons

The fighter of justice

I am the one whom evil run from

The one people hope for

And here I am lighting another cigarette

Mortals and their woes, so petty

I should wait till I find someone stronger than me

Skip the drama, skip the heartache

Skip the loyalty neither one deserves

And no need to pretend I'm the secretary anymore

Till then, this cigarette is ok

I am immortal anyway, what's the fuss?

The cars are busy, the people are scrambling

The answering machine is unplugged

It's a long, long night
