You Are Scared of Me
Heavy lipstick and curled hair,
Like a photograph;
But I feel the energy
whenever you’re near me;
I’m nothing like the rest of them
that’s why
you’re scared of me;
my heart on my sleeve
telling you exactly what I need;
Flimsy dresses and an absent stare
Oh honey, that’s a surface glare;
like staring at the Sun
It makes you blind;
Then you’re shaking again;
I can get you high
and you’re stone cold sober;
Spaghetti tanks and no risk
easy as pie like a one night stand .
I could reach your soul with a butterfly kiss,
and no lips;
that’s why you’re scared of me.
