She cuts me where no one can see
unless you've seen inside of me
I'm torn beaneath the tears I cry
the silent ones I have to hide
I'll bite my lip and hold in the screams
and lock away the inhumanity
in everything she's doing
to me
she owes me what she didn't protect:
my heart, modesty, my self-respect
I bit my lip when I was young
I didn't leave I didn't run
I bet you won't believe, or be too ashamed
Don't worry mom, I thought it was a game
Erin said I should play
I thought it was lame
Erin made me play
This is what you've been missing...
It was more than kissing
It was everything
Everything you've been missing
-for my mom
