Prettier Than Me

Because the way you held me last night Faded into elastic animosity Your hands conjoined with This lustful grind, Bringing me to a dilapidated heaven But, you forgot to believe in Him. You sucked off the beliefs of Yesterday’s fulfilling lie … Now these truths you prayed for Come undone Watching Waiting For this burdened error To tell you lies Tell you sweet, little lies While you caress validations’ gavel Wishing I would collapse Under the grasp of another scheming Photographic smile As words become defeated cries Oh, my sweet little cries Of an inflated tomorrow Just to pleasure your flaccid hopes For how ugly You wished for my smiles Oh, my sweet little smiles To be Your fantasied hips Will dance with my Empowering lips, No longer For this scattered tongue Overstayed its welcome And your vindicated landscape Will never be the final word In how beautiful I truly am Inside ©D.J.E.
