I would have been your girl If you had simply called me a gift. I remember every word Everything you said: 'The latest of my mistakes, Great for keeping me warm'. You were a domineering bard With lyrical power My young mind tricked by your words crushing me down But now I see that your words Were always lies. You played me like a word game Your truth hurt But it hurt more to know you lied. So I waited, with satisfaction That you would run out of words.
