It is rare that I am a decent woman.
Not in the sense of nudity, but rather humanity.
Politeness comes easy for a woman under someone's shoe,
and tears come even easier with the doormat she's become.

Why should I be allowed to love someone this way?
There should be no recovery for a tough start like this.
I am unkind to myself,
So do not expect me to think kindly of you.
A woman's indecent heart is only capable of so much.
Eventually I will tear open,
Out will pour rocks.
You will lose your balance and I will watch you fall.
You'll tell me you love me anyways.
You always say it anyways.E.
