I Never Thought I’d Have to “Un-love” Someone

I’m talking to boys

Who tell me right off that bat that

They don’t like me

And then they ask why I’m always playing defense

They tell me I’m

The bad kind of different

It’s nothing I haven’t heard

They say other girls “chill”

I’ve never known the meaning of the word

I tried to get my ex to teach me how

But we broke up when I was only luke warm

And I know I’m playing offense

Charging at lighting speed

To any boy who dares to touch me

And maybe it’s not fair

But maybe I don’t mind

We Were Too In Love

When you ask of how he loved me:

He loved me stuck

Like plaster and when he

Tried to unstick himself

From me

Pieces of him still stayed

 

He loved me hopeless and afraid

Desperate and regretful

With a tin can

Pressed to his heart

Trying to communicate

My worth to me

 

For out hearts still beat

For everyone we’ve lost

Ashamed and needy

With limbs of a teenage boy

And lips like a beggar

With pleading words

 

He loved me hard
