They look at me and say what a good girl What an angel, and what an innocent face I look at them and smirk Use a little bit of arrogance to hide the hurt They really like to judge looks But looks can be deceiving
I'm not as innocent as you think I'm not as naive as you thought Most of it went a way when the world got to me When it decided it was time to initiate me
It all started when they took him Made me believe that love was the cure to anything But no matter how much love you put in, it might not be enough to save him One needle, one life One mistake, one price Stand there and watch everyone cry And then get hit with the news that daddy died
It all started with him That night when he kissed me Then after that he hit me That broke me, now nobody can fix me They tell you to keep your head in the game That he is just a distraction But they told me this a little to late Now I know why they called it a fatal attraction
Memories of my first love tend to really hurt As I think about what really happened How the hickeys looked like the bruises and I considered them love rashes How the kisses led to misses led to so many heart crashes
It all started when it came They say opportunity knocks but problems walk in like it owns the home of your life From the shouting and the pouting To the long nights of doubting Doubting that love actually exists Doubting that there's actually a solution to all this
A poem about how people aren't who they seem to be
