the girl who buys lies

  • she smiles
    the girl who buys lies
    the lies she tells herself
    to stop hating the flaws
    like walls
    closing in
    every time she stops and thinks
    about thinking
    and what she really is
    and is becoming
    thank you dad
    mom
    and the lies others tell
    to get inside her pants
    or else to mock her
    even though she knows the difference
    she just doesn't care
    her hair it weeps
    and oh her body sings
    a sad song
    even as she weeps
    tears falling like brown hair
    over shoulders
    evaporate
    then nothing
    remembered
    the next day comes
    are you still here --
    the one who told me lies
    i could only believe
    because i wanted to believe?
    i could believe in anything
    sell me lies
    i am buying lies
    hook line and sinker
    and i know
    and i understand
    i am not stupid enough to buy your lies
    but i need to buy lies
    so just f**k me now
    so i can hate myself even more
    at least until tomorrow
    when the sight of you sickens
    but the thought of me sickens
    even more
