Starving

Damnit it happened again
Let me put on a false demeanor
and pretend to be the nicest person
that you'd ever meet
but don't you know that's not me
I can't pretend that I only wanna be your friend when you give me that look
and I just freeze
I may be sweet
But I'm human
and I have to eat
I don't gobble down words of love
like I would like to with you
I silently just starve as you eat in front of me
You give me a nibble with a complement or two
but I'll give you a five course meal
and I'm sick of it boo

I'm just so starving I might taste you
You offer your body laced with cocaine
You bite my neck and who's to blame?
We both just want to no longer feel pain
But I didn't realize that with the 5 course
Remorse is the main dish on the plate
I taste you and you taste bittersweet

We're both starving,
even though
you just ate a whole meal

I don't want to rot my teeth
So I release that stupid epiphany
That one day it could be
Just you and me

In a perfect world
There is no hunger
But we live in this one
and I don't want to
starve any longer
