i see sycamores growing in your eyes
or maybe that's just me gazing at myself through the reflection of your ponderous orbs
stop talking because i won't fall again
i'm not a mouse in your trap anymore, tom
i grew out of your avocado kisses and your enticing whispers don't weaken me anymore
they just make me grow stronger
the trails of sugar on my stomach that you've left
don't bother me a pinch
the scent of pine cones in the air reeked like liquor on a midnight sky
you were never there for me on christmas eve
i believed you would come
down the chimney you go and we'd kiss under the mistletoe
even left you cookies and milk on the dining table
but my present never came
so i lit up the fireplace and watched the fire with revulsion in my blazing eyes
i've been such a good girl to you lately
so how come you never came?
was i on the naughty list?
oh god, i wish i could rip that list in half.

drip                drip               drip             drip
drip                drip               drip             drip

you're dripping raspberries
i'm making you melt
or maybe that's just the faucet running because i'd forgotten to turn it off
i lied, i didn't forget
i left it on so you could drown
in your filthy lies
your crooked smile
your way with words just sickens me
i'm throwing up olives on an almost autumn day
your sultry smirk suddenly became so rotten
too rotten for me to even look at you.

are you waiting for me to erupt?
because i'll erupt just for you, darling!
but just remember that my body's filled with milky acid
that's why my insides are always burning
it's not you that always hurts me
it's what i'm filled with that damages me.

close your eyes and imagine a ladybug crawling on your fingertips
i feel at peace in my mind for once in my life
now that you've showed yourself out my head
i let the ladybug fly out the window
but only to realize it was a poisonous one
oops, i died.
