I knew every thread of you but you only guessed my stitches Leaving bruises on my throat and my stomach and my hips in the pitch black where you couldn't see, my face was blank to your fingertips that ran down my back along the sore scratches you'd given me before and I was just trembling because I was cold And in that night I became everything a woman feared, overwhelmed by some idea of lust to the ecstasy you threatened to give me You shoved me deeper into the mattress stained with ash and her handwriting she left in permanent ink, but I didn't mind You'd remember my smell forever and shiver when you think of it I felt nothing but bare skin though you were connected to the warmth of me, and when we were done your knees shook while I stood firm and quiet I left your garage with a kiss on my forehead and some "promised" love I forgot about, smiling because you were unaware that I wasn't coming back Walking home with a cigarette like any, high off of your cravings like under the sink drugs Now you give the gift I gave to you to another girl, how rotten and foul she'll feel after she adores the way you touched her like I did you Though you admit that wasn't all you wanted, but I'm not haunted
