Duckie's Lament - Jonathan Bree

A butterfly on her lower back

Was never classy and they called her a skank

But she was

My deity

I saw her shopping at the end of the aisle

With kids that needed to be tranquilized

And it’s hard

To see her now

Life’s no filmstrip

Good guys don’t win

And some girls are born to abuse

I’ll never hold her in her favorite dress

Once, a Duckie tried so much to impress

'Til she fucked

All of my friends

Life’s no filmstrip

Good guys don’t win

And some girls are born to abuse

Stoned, no confidence

No car, no prospects

If more and asshole than a friend

You could have been struggling

Broke and pregnant
