I painted my face
all blushed cheeks and doe eyes
we laughed over wine
you touched my knee, my lies,
tonight I’m your ****** pearl
not this wasted wailing girl
I’m reborn in your gasps,
beautiful like I was when
I noticed small things
like birds, and this ache,
when the days didn’t blend
into nights, into beds, into highs.
When I’m well I’m a feminist but
tonight I just need to be
your fragile, pretty paper crane.
STOP—my mind’s getting too loud,
kiss me harder, let me stay,
we’ve all told lies here,
truth is I can’t remember who you are;
you’re the make-me-forget,
just give me some purpose tonight and
call me some other name,
please just
call me some other name.

Lean your head
On my
Bare
Hip
And taste
Sweet,
Pure
Freedom.

Let these
empty
sheets
Cover this
naked
Body
Of mine
With relief.

Let my ankle
Feel
The pain
Of your
Passionate
Kiss,
As we both know
It is our last.

Close your eyes,
Love,
As you did mine
Once,
So you won't see
My shadowed
Steps
Walking away.

Take your farewell
And cover it
With clothing,
But it will still be
Too much
For our
One hour
Love story.

Bodies crash into foreign sheets
and lips mold against currents.
Drunken declarations of love,
filled without meaning or thought.
The world fades to black
and slumber takes over.
Hands clutch empty spaces
and lift cold pillow cases
to realize that it was never real.
It was just a night weaved through time,
forgotten one day to never be spoke of.
Lonely people discovering what it's like to feel alive.

If I say “I love you”,
Will you leave me behind?
What will you do
When I use a pick-up line?

I know I’m cheesy
On my spread
And I seem so needy
When we’re in bed.

But if you’re down
I can be your girl
If you wanna be around
I can give it a whirl

I know that I seem like a *****
But I’ve always been ignored

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let let let you down)

My story is sadly
Seldom told;
A girl who’s lonely
Living in a gray world.

And every evening
When she’s deep in woe
She takes some comfort
With some guy she doesn’t know.

With the sun
She sees the same scene:
He’s already gone
By seven-fifteen
Now I’m falling for another man
Tell me it won’t happen again.

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
(I won’t let let let)
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let let let you down)

I can’t believe that I discovered you
I feel I’m on a a a high
So,
If you feel that our bond isn’t true
I’m going to cry cry cry

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
(I won’t won’t won’t)
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let you down)
La la la la la
(Let you let you let you down)
La la la la la

Skin on skin
Sweet caresses and whispers of love
A blissful sensation; an alien feeling unknown

The strange energy coursing through the veins
The mind begins to enter euphoria while the body vibrates anticipating what it awaits

It all feels just right

Can we pretend we're lovers if only for just one night
Pretend that we were distant but just reunited
Let's pretend and play along with this lie

Can I say you loved me too?
Please say that you loved me as I loved you!
If only for a moment, can we pretend we never parted?

I've grown fond of you
I think I love you

In the morning I walked out

leaving you like a

crumpled sheet, slumped across the bed.

It had been fun the night before

but sunshine cracks open the mind

and slaps the fertile brain

into consciousness.

I knew we weren't made for each other

By the curve of your lip

and ***** sink stacked with food-caked plates

the music you listened to

and the photograph of your ex.
