Prima Facie

Prima Facie
adjective
based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise.

so i accept
what choice do I have
i'm such a big fan
i love you so much
you are pure art

so i look past the downward glance of your eyes

Prima Facie
adverb
on the first impression

at first
i thought you were beautiful
but it's not
you're not
per se

it's just that you prefer the pain of others
because guilt is a solid replacement for anguish
you like to see me get hit
get struck down
because you can offer a hand down to me
but i cannot climb up to you

and i'm sorry
if my deadweight was too heavy
when you gripped my body after striking me down
