The Poison They Call Love
Dear Diary,
I really think I'm ugly
It's been 16 years
And my mom still doesn't notice me
My dad shows me attention
But his intensions I do dislike
He only shows me this "attention" in suspension
When he dims the lights
And I told my mom about this
Actually many times
But I guess its kinna true
When they say love is blind
But see I tried to escape this "love"
With something wild
I met a boy and let him in
To see my other sides
We spoke on things
Like secrets goals and future plans
I asked him "will you build a life with me?"
He said "it depends"
"Depends on what?"
He said "I need to get your body first"
I said "ok then have it"
He said "let's commence"
I was only looking for some love
If you could see
I went John Legend on this boy
And gave him all of me
For the first time in a long time
I felt a bond
And its incredible that feeling
When we both made one
But as you know
These things are quick to finish not to last
He got his clothes, unlock the door
And said let's have a chat
"I'm inlove with you my dear
Your body and your soul
And I look for ward to be by your side
As we grow old"
As we grow old?
It was a month and his discard my texts
But then he finally replied
Saying there's someone else
And see I said to him the same
Because a human being
Is twisting, turning, breathing,
Growing up inside of me
He denied that it was his
So I denied that it was mine
Society is funny
They wouldn't accept my child
So I did you all a favor
Hope you can thank me later
