bloody knuckles

fucked up delusions and cheap
paperback fantasies
won't lead me to his camp
pleasant chit chat and a rundown
of my favorite things
won't lure him to lose
himself in the wacky depths
of my estrogen

I'm humming songs he doesn't know
I'm advertising myself
on his broken TV
I'm throwing myself down
on the tracks
and his train won't leave
the motherfucking station
I'm spilling honesty on my wrists
wearing my colors and not worrying
about whether or not they match
and he is locked
in a box
and I don't have
the key
and he is a frog
and my kiss
is not magic enough
to get him back
to prince status
he makes me ache
and tingle
and grin a big grin
but none of this matters
if he won't let me
in.
