Bloody Bittersweet
Put on your pretty damn face
Oh wait it’s not even pretty
Make your intelligent little quips
Oh wait youre not even witty
Take a video on snapchat
With those smiling eyes
On the other side of the camera
You’re slicing up your thighs
Be strong be strong
be strong please
is strength dealing with it yourself
or getting down on your knees
blood red blood red
a sticky bittersweet
but the sweetness gives way much to fast
and I sway and am swept from my feet
still tastes sweeter than the salt
of emotional defeat
