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
