Your Perfection

You moulded me to your perfection then bounced me around the room to show ownership of me to your friends So I purred and smiled and batted my eyes Acted asthough I enjoyed it I loved all of them the way you taught me So you were pleased for a while For a while I was safe You bent me out of shape and pushed me as far as I could take So I tried to smile and bat my eyes but I couldn't help but cry It made you happy for a while These chains swing and hurt my wrists as they break and cut my veins I'm lying here alone unclaimed I wish to feel the hurt again I want the tears upon my face The cold gleam in your eye I need you to be happy for a while The darkness stinks, I'm in disgrace all used up a broken face Bones are broken beneath the skin I love your smile you've such a grin Now at least your happy again
