I’m cute and sweet, like a cupcake they say, With a guaranteed smile I can serve everyday. They laugh, they linger, they take a bite, But then walk away at the end of the night. They call me cute like that’s my role, Am I sugary shell with no deeper soul? My heart isnt icing, It bruises and breaks, It crackles with every almost-love mistakes. It makes my eyes roll, It clenches my jaw, Because I know this truth, which I don't think they saw- I'm more than just sweet, I’m more than just “adorable”- I want love too.

Cupcakes
I’m cute and sweet, like a cupcake they say, With a guaranteed smile I can serve everyday. They laugh, they linger, they take a bite, But then walk away at the end of the night. They call me cute like that’s my role, Am I sugary shell with no deeper soul? My heart isnt icing, It bruises and breaks, It crackles with every almost-love mistakes. It makes my eyes roll, It clenches my jaw, Because I know this truth, which I don't think they saw- I'm more than just sweet, I’m more than just “adorable”- I want love too.
