hush my perfect baby
hush my little girl
i am here and you are too
and we can finally begin

you kiss me with your eyes
i see you
you tempt me with your smile
i know you do

perfect curls
perfect eyes
freckles are not blemishes
rather, beauty marks
galore

you're not the sun
because
your radiance is not meant for all
you are the moon
whispering sweet nothings to me
in the middle of the night

i will make you a full moon
i will make you glow
and you will wink
and smile,
curling your lips in a smirk
and say
"am i too young to feel this way?"

you know what my answer will be

If I were to compare you to something describing you best
It would be a cigarette
I sneak you into my bedroom
like a late night ****
I breathe you in as you poison my lungs
like this wispy smoke
I know you're no good for me
Yet can't help wanting you
So **** badly

The sorrow wraps around me
Like a noose around my neck
Making me unable to speak
As painful thoughts play
Like a record stuck on repeat

Show me the marks on your arm
Where your cruel forbearer
Laid his fist

Show me the lines under your bracelets
Where you dragged the blade
Across your wrist

Don't hide the painful memories
For every wound I will heal
As I kiss

If you can't live without me,
why aren't you dead?
