A kiss, a touch, a lie or two,

Another notch in my lipstick tube.

You made me believe that I could

Let someone in, or at least that I should.

My life had been shattered,

Ripped, torn, and tattered.

You had held me so close,

But in my head was nothing but woes.

I knew better than to trust,

Even from someone that I should have just.

Someone with a bad reputation,

For causing my hearts palpitation.

To look me straight in the face,

And make me think my place.

Was laying in your arms.

Everything was good for one night,

Now I know my instincts were right.

You’re embarrassed of me now,

Obviously you think me a cow.

I’m not the kind of girl you’re used to,

I’m not a starry eyed female you.

I knew better than to think a friend,

Could help my loneliness end.

But you made me realize,

That even a friend can terrorize.

Can make me even more bitter,

More hateful, distrusting, even twitter.

I can’t blame you , though,

I exposed myself and showed

My underbelly, my open throat.

Tied myself up in rope.

I won’t cry, we’ll still be friends,

But when will this hurt finally end?

Friends shouldn’t become lovers,

It screws up the dynamic, even under covers.

I’ll treasure that night,

When you made everything all right.

The first tryst after devastation,

I’ll just have to live with my little revelation.
