a t-shirt loose framing my hips i am typecast the antithesis of your tight *** and your grenadine lips tight too for your own back but open so open for everyone else's business.
four years you've been together (he's so sweet) you ignore his hard red hand and his tattoo-- he's all you've got and you **** it up and smile and you drink till you're interesting because they wouldn't like you if they knew you weren't interesting and you'll never be more than what you are, Small Town.
your eyes are surface-only and the brown that no one notices except on you because you're better (you tell yourself) you give hell to yourself baby you could tell yourself the truth (but don't tell him)
and you look at me like i am nothing.
but i'm buoyant, you know, the antithesis of your solid sinking rock heart
i look back like i am everything.
grenadine smiles only sick-sweet and those surface eyes make sad effort to hide infernos i'm on fire, though and to put it bluntly it is brighter than yours.
the t-shirt's loose around my hips, but they are there, underneath (where are yours?) and my lips are tight only when you're here. you look at me like i am nothing. i am everything, and no words will break you (more than you are already broken).
my eyes are blue and my smile is real, and no words will break me either.
