my body has been void of its own innocence for years
it doesn't remember what it's like to be kissed on the back of the neck for the first time
your finger tips have trailed its every outline

i want to grow new skin because of you
shed all my pink hair in the shower

fall reminds me of the bitten apples
your greedy hands grabbing every variety

pink lady fresh off the vine
i remember how your teeth clenched her
kissed the back of her neck
and how you threw the core out of our moving car on route 30

we don't get our time back
our innocence  either
but we do get a new fall
every year the leaf turns over
every year you throw another core out of your car window
