I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

Treating me wrong
While I’m treating you right
You say we’re friends
But that’s a lie

I don’t know why
I keep hanging on
Maybe cuz if I didn’t
I’d be all alone

You told me that
I’m your only friend
Supposedly we were friends
Until the end

But I saw you
With another guy
Enjoying yourself
Like you were about to die

Best friends, huh?
Well, I beg to differ
We’re not best friends
Not even a little

I tried, yeah, I tried so hard
To trap you in my broken heart
But you pushed me, yeah, you pushed me away
What is wrong with you? What do I say?

Goodbye? Yeah, that’s what I’ll say
I’m done playing this romantic game
See ya, I’m out of here
I’ll be gone before you start to tear
Best friend

let love be sipped
drink from a heart
with a loosening grip
get drunk off detachment
on this transitory trip

Dear Daddy,
Do you know what these men say to me?

With their
eyes and their mouths
when I walk on the street.

With a grin and a nod
and a look up and down.
A wink and a kiss
and a cat call heard from downtown.

With my skirt short
and my top
low,
It’s a cold world daddy
and no
doesn’t mean no.

Daddy do you know
how these men look at me?

Like I’m a piece of meat
strutting down the street?
With my head buds in
and my favorite song on.

I’m asking for it Daddy,
I’m in the wrong.

Do you know how it feels
not to wear what I like?

To walk a little faster
when I’m alone at night?

Daddy the world is my predator
and I am it's doe,
Daddy what happens
when I can’t say no?

— The End —
