Jessica from This Paradise by Lucy Roleff

Jessica, half asleep
answers the door
wearing your shirt
turns to walk
into the kitchen
learning your home
and cupboard provisions
I don’t know
I think she’s kind

Jessica, came into your bed
let herself fall asleep at the end
why can’t you love her
with her hair down like that?
helplessly she cries to me

but I don’t know anything
give me a man
I’ll make up a reason to leave

Jessica, holds your head
under her skirt
and asks you to stay there
would it take very much
just make up a reason
make it a good one

I don’t know anything
if you make up a reason
I’ll make up a reason
