Tell me tell me
Tell me true
What is it about you
Is it your face
That angel face
Inspiring girls to risk rejection
For just a simple kiss
That baby face
No one guesses the real you
Mischief lives not behind those eyes
But darkness, hatred, a need to control
Not your face
That angel face
All I see when I look at you
Is the person you are
There is no innocence in that
If not your face perhaps your smile
I've seen how people melt to that smile
But not me
Never me
That first smile you gave me gave you away
I was never charmed by that smile
Your body is not perfect
Not greek adonis or even solid
Certainly not fat
I accuse not the untrue
But nothing special
Nothing to move mountains
I look not for a good person
I know better than that
How I grow bored with kindness
I admit I adore when you boss me around
My blood boils when you threaten
I thrive when we fight
Perhaps it is that
But not for long
I can see myself growing tired of you
If nothing stands out
Then what could it be
Why do I taste bile
When I think its over
Do I value this friendship more than I think
Do I yearn for something more
Than harsh words
And meaningless cigarette kisses
In you I see myself
In you I see more
In you I see the pain of rope burn
And the crack of the lash
The pain of teeth...
Remember that you threw this away
I apologized
I took the blame
YOU THREW THIS AWAY
