Shop Window - Kathryn Williams

I’d pay good money to sort your head out

To blank out the screen

To take us back to simple pleasures and means

It’s a barbed little comment

Not big enough for the outside to see

But that’s how you love it

That’s how you kept it between you and me

All appearance is kept up

Everyone is envious

Make them feel like we’ve

Got it made

Like a gift that some god sent to us

But it’s just a shop window

You’re undressing it again

I’ll stand where you want me to

Pointing where our relationship’s going

I’m not an arrow or dart for throwing

I’d pay good money to get out of this

To turn my back to your dream

I’d pay good money to make this window steam

It’s a barbed little comment

Not big enough for the outside to see
