Over

If your kisses were medicine,
I would be immortal

I used to pretend that
your love bites were stars

and that I would shine
with your help.

When faced with the simple question
to love or not to love

I found the answer
carved onto my heart.

The nascent cries of
"you're being used, you're being used"

bellowed through my veins
as if I ran on love.

If I was ever a little girl
that would use hearts instead of dots,

forgive me but
those days are gone.
