Untitled

you can't hide from me

i know you and your demented ways

because i've seen them in every man before you.

you see me and like my "radiance,"

how i laugh at everything and smile

at every person i meet

and how i take my time with others.

cute right?

you label me as "safe"

and "easy."

you'll be in for a treat when i stay up until

1 o'clock am, ranting about how

some boy at school was insensitive about women's suffrage

or when i cry over Monsters Inc

or when i forget to give you your iPod back

for the fifth time

or when i repeatedly swing at you

and whimper when you pinch me once

or when i'm so honest that it feels

like i'm beating you to a pulp.

that's when they give up and that

is when

you gave

up.
