Vanity Is a Bouquet of Roses

i feel sick. 

the things i don't want to do, i do, 
and the things i want to do, i do them, but with much delay. 

i looked you in the eye with pain, 
but you turned my emotions away for personal gain, 
forcing yourself upon me like a cougar to it's prey. 

i'll love you, 
i love you, 
i Loved you. 

we can play hide and seek forever, 
or i can give myself away, 
but if i do not eat, i hunger. 
and so, i hunger.

how could i ever compare my beauty to a rose?
