Perri
I warned you
But you were confident
You'd be able to handle the ride
Because I am the face of truth
I do not tell lies
I bare every emotion on my flesh
I have nothing to hide
And nothing scares a man more
Eyes so wide
Than a woman so real
Due to his ego and pride
So run terrified man
Your lack of strength
You cannot hide
Like all the others
Lie to yourself
Say that you tried
For I am alone again
And I'm sure many tears
Will be cried
Until the next one approaches
Uncowardly
With arms open so wide
Until my passion
Also leaves him terrified

is it okay to miss him the second he looks away?
Right girl
Wrong time
She was hanging
With some other guy

I thought I
Was stronger
Than I found out
I was

Pride gets
In the way
So often
These days

Am I to blame
Or are you
I'm still not
Quite sure
When my heart bleeds
And I can't sleep
I cry poetry

When I feel sad
Or I get mad
I cry poetry

When I laugh hard
And my tummy hurts terribly bad
I cry poetry

When I lose faith
In my unknown fate
I cry poetry

And as I sit here
Without you here
I cry poetry
