Bacardi took my place on your tongue
and you couldn't tell what tasted sweeter,
the liquor or my legs

you never knew what you wanted
even when i drew your name from your lips
with my mouth taking you in me
"pull my hair"
you obliged
with the curve of the moon tracing your face
the embers sparking between my thighs
don't deny you fed the flames
you pressed into my soul
pushing yourself in my ******
making me forget myself

i am a **** woman

the music is what owns me
but id gladly give you a piece.
as long as
you admit to the fear that shakes within your chest

i held you as something leaked from your eyes
"they're not tears" you laughed as you kissed my cheek
"its my allergies"
allergic to love?
no. allergic to nuts.

you begged me to let you love me
i scorned your adoring gazes-
"you're just a hot piece of ***"
yet now i'm
the one at home wondering

i saw curls and curves that night
mixed with blue and red
you a somber purple
looking without seeing
i turned back to my one true love who has never betrayed me
treble and tequila
bass and lime

now i need to know what you crave
me or the darkness
night or light
you're the one holding the matches
yet
before fire could catch you, you started walking away
wholesome daylight hours were never in the stars when we always locked the door and shut our eyes
you complain you're cold in the shadows
yet hide from the sun

tell me you love me just one more time
not with words on your tongue but with teeth to my heart
ill tell self respect to go running
take me on your desk
study my anatomy

make believe we don't care so when our grand-kids ask about love
you glimpse the stars on my brow and your hand around my neck
but when you open your eyes you'll just smile at them sadly

i know you long to dream of nothing
to no longer have nightmares
it'd be easier not to feel, and to embrace the cold
you couldn't handle the heat you said as you batted the flames
but darling,
don't forget that ice burns too

you lie too easy
was your serpent tongue directed towards me?
or yourself
because you can't convince me to play the role of eve and then slip away
leaving me naked and vulnerable
don't worry there Adam
in the end i could never blame you for the pain
because its not your fault you didn't know yourself
and you did warn me not to enter the garden
but it was you who tasted the apple first
who convinced me to take a bite
so i ate of the fruit, and i like how it tastes
even as it comes back up, as i crouch at the roots of the tree.

"i want to be the cause of that happiness"
baby just cause my breaking
into another fragment
and as you slip it into your pocket, be careful not to cut yourself
my edges can be sharp
especially when mishandled
