I am female

I keep boys under my skin

they think they think

they’re

right deep under my skin

but my skin is deeper than

the fault lines

that carry love waves

and I like it that way

-

You know me, you love me

you care for me

sometimes

-

I do too, humouring

those that are lost in my flesh now

swimming in my blood stream

tunnelling through my veins

when really I just want to

rip apart yours
