Cheery eyed Mary knew exactly what she was doing
Her cheeks were red with the rush
The young girl was only 10 when she started *******
And only older men could make her blush

You weren't made for your body
This vessel isn't right for you
Not when your heart is as pure as spring water
And your skin is no where near as clear
Your laughter carries so sweet behind gnarly teeth
And your kindness is hidden behind eyes so red
You just want to be loved
But your arteries are too blocked and your hands are cold
Your lumps your bumps your bad acne
It stops people from seeing the beauty inside
of you and me
I'm watching you from the left corner,
over here, where dust has swarmed to.
I see you go to sleep, and awaken
just like I see you when you come home wasted.

I can remember a time when you saw me too,
but that time was ages ago,
the bond that we had, they burnt through
and now you've forgotten me...

You left me alone; defenseless to these dust bunnies.
How am I supposed to feel
When you tell me I'm the one
But make me feel second best.
She knew in her heart where she belonged
And it wasn't with a wolf,
or a ghost from her past
She belonged to the one who would never do her harm.
The wolf may be enticing and warm and inspiring
And the ghost may be exciting, unruly and inviting
But her heart beats softer to the hum of his love
Than for anyone else,
in hell or above.

It doesn't matter where you've been
I'm only interested in where you're going.
So you didn't pass in school,
Bad habits look good on you.
I don't want to tell you my life story;
About my past and all its glory
Because we are just middle aged suburban trash
And I want to be where you put out your ash.
