I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way

Prev | Next


drink another glass of that aborigine liquid

the pulp of my virginity tweaked to inebriate you

made fresh from the juices of my fertility

served to you, alas, as you wished, always

you inconspicuously become cunning

beneath thoughtful eyes and leave me.

 

 

there's a trace of innocence across this lace

only tangible if you're as big a tease as i

i only kissed you so that i could see

what your eyes look like in the filter of desire

but when i did this, our eyes eclipsed

now you look completely different in every way.

 

 

i noticed when i awoke your lies stained the sheets

and i realized that i smell too much like you

and as you rolled over and looked at me i thought

neither of us will ever be able to clean this up

even if you set fire to your apartment or

if i use steel wool in a spermicide shower.

 

 

i'm not as bad as you think. i've just lived hard

i'm protected by my will to remain a little innocent

my details add up to an incomplete picture

our sum is bigger than our parts and

we are all prisoners of our disposition

you take like a scorpion and cut me to pieces.
