I know you could never love me
Sometimes I'm too dark,
Too fat
Too weak
come to think of it
Maybe it's not love you seek
It's lust
Because my lips are not enough
And as I gather my tears
I find them slipping between my fingers
Useless
Just as you find me
and I'm use to this abuse
I know nothing else
I find myself drowning in your cologne
Until my fingertips are stained with your stench
I'm suffocating and can't escape
Gasping for air
And you're the one to pour it in my lungs again
Stop it,
You're tantalizing
And I don't mean to fall into your arms
They're the only thing that's caused me harm
And this war against myself
keeps going on and on
Leaving me defenseless
and occasionally senseless
I'm not your damaged goods
You can't feast on my tongue
for your livelihood
I am not yours for the taking
And as I say this
I could feel my hands shaking
and my heart breaking
I'm not your puppet doll
And you're no puppet master
You're a viscous monster
That preys on the weak
Once again,
It's not love you seek
It's lust
And I'm not your damaged goods
I untied my soul from you
I've unloosened your grip
And stripped you of your power.
I'd never curse you or lay a spell on you
But, I forbid you
from disrupting my peace of mind
I buried the past and laid it all behind
So don't crawl yourself back from the dead
Go back to bed
