Once upon a time
I was a little girl, aged only nine
I gave my heart to a boy like you in the silence of the night
And watched you tear it apart with all your sadistic might
When you looked me in my eyes
And told me you didn't feel how I did
I couldn't believe it
It was nearly too bad to be real
Tell me you know how it feels

If you've ever felt like I do
If you've ever not had a black pit of a soul
If you've ever had compassion for someone like me
I used to dream about your fingers touching my body at night

But I never even feel your eyes on me in the stink of daylight
Once upon a time
I gave my heart to a boy like you in the silence of the night
And watched you tear it apart with all your sadistic might

Now I have a plain old broken heart
And you're stealing the Smarties off the cake of my heart
You're still eating the icing sugar from the crumbs
Sugar and ice, that's what you are

I wished you could see me
Breasts like a snowflake, lashes like the wings of a butterfly
Bare buttocks like apples, so round and sweet
And when our eyes meet
I'd see the love you feel only for me.
