You cut me off and run like I was a plague
And left me shattered,
while the love bites
you gave still marks me as your territory
How can you leave when the love bites hasn't even healed on me?
I sank knee deep, once bitten twice shy
Ripping trust from me
Let men come and go
But never again allowed myself to be
Liars. I tell myself. Cheaters. Excuses
and lost of interest. Players.
I was happy, because I was so numb I couldn't feel a thing
So I politely keep them out,
like you play violent. notes on
a string. I doomed myself to be undeserving
of love, to never trust, to beg for security
from every hand willing to touch me.
This is the legacy you left me
