"has been" by newcoolmeat
there are runs in my skin
did it catch on something again?
was it maybe
the shards of that broken
well, what was it?
something borrowed
something blue
as old as your expression
but still brand new
to me at least
novelty
wrapped up in a good feeling
but
you tore right through that
in a rushed state of zeal
wanting to get at something better
something worth the time you leaked out of your pores
straight into my mouth
no chaser
but I always seem to be chasing you
and my sneakers
have worn down past the rubber and cotton
so now my toes curl
looking shocked at what they're being forced to watch
one ripped off completely
so I gave it to you
so maybe you could
have a piece of me
to keep next to all the pieces
you could never give me
never intentionally anyway.
rap a tap tap
your fingers are sniggering at me
they know me inside and out
and not surprisingly
find it funny
(what they've found)
and seven to one
they point to the parts
I'd never show the eyes
but somehow
they've seen it.
I washed and pinched at my face
until it bled
and you're right
I really shouldn't wear cosmetics
it just makes me ashamed of my natural appearance.
and I can't seem
to know
how to even begin
so let's just say I'm finished.
