You said jump in
And my bare skin burned
In the front seat

You said almost beautiful
And I watched every mirror
To find what was missing

You said use your words
And I used them all
Until my tongue was numb

You said straighten up
And my kinks were flat
against that hardwood floor

You said I liked make believe
And I knew
To go along with the story

When I was fifteen
They said I was young
And I felt younger still

morning light
cuts my soul
gently divides
lost from whole
and i don't want to lose too much

I want to lick
Your disappointment

Taste your bitter

I wonder,
If I were born to walk the moon,
Would you shoot for me?
No worries,
it's just a game of hearts
And I'm a little rusty.

The halves that made me
Left me only pieces
To make my whole

They made her like a star
destroyer--

And never forgave her when she fired.
Still she carries their black skies in her scars
To remind her to never be a good daughter.
