No one ever told me that when a boy wanted me,
it would never be just for the reason of "me".
Everyone is in love with someone else,
and that's why they do the things they do.
He fucks me because he loves her,
there temporarily to ease you of your pain,
Isn't this always the case,
that the arms you're being held in
are longing to wrap themselves around something more
We do what we do because we are in love,
We are not in beautiful, satisfyingly safe love.
We are in head spinning, regretful, unhealthy love with others.
We are in pure lust with each other.
Maybe our tongues will touch but you and I both know
our minds aren't on the body in front of us,
but on the bodies that got up and left.
you and I both know that.
We get hurt and we think that
we are being let in again,
accepted by those who have sawed us in half
and dragged us across the floor.
But instead we'll play pretend.
Pretend that we don't remember the colors of their eyes,
pretend that we remember each others.
