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

Drake, I really enjoyed the style of this one. The title draws us in and the poem delivers the message very clevery.
