Catching feelings like fireflies
Can't tell if I'm in lust or love
Or if I've just gotten so lonely
So starved for attention
That every gram of affection feels
Like fluttering butterflies
Correction:
There is no love here
Just sex and greed
And a healthy dose
Of an anxious teenager
In over her head
