Hollow: like the pitcher you used to pour me my drink Scared: as you walk towards me like a demon; possessed Frozen: like the ice you used to keep the alcohol just the right temperature
Until i pass out on your bed like a baby at nap time Time has gone by, you're scared and you even cry Your uncle cried too You drove me back home as if we were mourning the death of christ And I walked out And I walked And I walked I walked through my front porch with makeup smudged Eyes of a raccoon, unnoticed as I make my way upstairs Blind, as I shower away the marks, the pain, the evidence And I fall asleep again, on my bed like a baby at nap time Awake: and I see your name on the screen of my phone Sorry, you say. And I hangup. I put my phone on my dresser, and I scream into my pillow: How could I be so stupid How could I be so ignorant, mindless, dense How could I watch myself be taken? Well guess what? You didn't take a THING from me My soul is bound to me and my heart is kept safely in its case Like your football trophy You can take my virginity, but you can NEVER take my dignity And I stand tall And a year later I stand tall And I grow older and move past those sleepless nights And I fall asleep in my bed like a baby at nap time Because I can sleep, knowing that you will be the one left with the pain Glass shards from your trophy fly through the room like bullets And your heart breaks for it. And you suffer sleepless nights for each and every women who fell onto your mattress.
