flush

someone opened up this can of worms
a german woman from the burbs
and nothing seems to be so simple anymore
like pacing floors
or slamming doors
just hoping for a little more
before the hours waste
my face into a skull
i may be dumb
but never dull
i never said i didn't care
about your offers
or your dares
i just can seem to find a way
out of this maze
amazing that my little heart
can take the craving
as you drop the key
into your drawer
hoping for a little more
a little locksmith made me
learn to work the forge
i don't make opening devices
i don't pay perks for vices
and i can't decide if niceness
would be telling you to leave
or making you believe
with ravenous attendence
to your fire
i want a lover
not a liar
