would you have stayed
if i told you what i truly was
if i told you
this pure girl you see
is actually a broken beast
if i told you
all the horror i have witnessed
and all the sins i have committed
if i told you
what really ran inside
this pretty little head of mine.
would you still have stayed
if you saw
what i am truly made of
if you saw
my heart
not pure
but rather tarnished and stained
if you saw
the blood that circulates my veins
not red
but rather black
spoiled and scarred.
and would you have stayed
if you saw
my interior
rather than my exterior
if you saw
past my skin
that conceals me
hides me
never exposing the monster
I truly am.
