Offering i was sixteen and i was learning to embrace tight jeans and plunging necklines i used mascara and deep red lipstick by way of suggestion i saw the way you looked at me when i swung my hips to the music and i learned to like it you taught me to kiss in the corner of a dark, crowded room you tasted like beer and cigarettes it gave me a rush beyond my comprehension i was only sixteen when my innocence fell to the floor in a heap of mangled clothing your dark shadow traced me lips, teeth, tongue... but i never let you fill me in i was too scared to give you what i had offered even after i saw the disappointment shade your face little girl alone in a dark room tears where you had been an outline of an adult emptiness filling the inside |
