Detox
LOVE is a drug she wishes she would no longer need.
She cuts open her heart just to watch it bleed.
Hoping to detox she turns and walks away.
Giving up her dreams of a husband and a family of her own some day.
Setting her standards higher as she tries to save face.
Crying herself to sleep. Longing to feel a loving embrace.
In a world where love has lost all meaning or is most often confused with lust
Why does she choose to remain good when men prefer their females promiscuous?
Ripping her heart from her sleeve because she can no longer deal.
She has grown tired of trying to mend her heart that never had time to heal.
So pay her no mind if you see tears fill her eyes.
For she is the Crooked Smile Calypso and every night she cries.
