You once told me
as you held me in your arms
that I wasn't allowed
to pierce my body
smoke cigarettes
or
"be pretty"

In case you don't remember dear
you pierced my heart
when you pierced my body
then left me for another woman

its a hole that has become a scar
a shimmering reminder
on my beating heart

It's been three months now
since I last felt your touch
and to be quite frank
I need a rush

so I'll do whatever I want
without you

I take a deep breath
he slides in the needle
I exhale and now it's there
a new scar on my body
a new daily reminder
and guess what babe
Your opinion?
I don't care
