Coo words at me one more time-
I've never been keen to believe you.
Knotting promises into cord to cut me,
I'll never be someone you're a part of.
The lies my flesh has told you
Has put me at risk for you to fall in love with.
But I am not responsible for the way my body shatters your expectations.
You cannot shame a sinner without a shame for sin.
Or a lover in love with the way her body bends.
And the silence I keep for the way you make me quiver
Is not an excuse to make your misery quicker.
I have loved and lied to plenty of men
The biggest I've told is "it's not in your head."
I exist in a dimension you deserve no part of.
My love is eternal but you've only ever been lusted for.
