Desperate

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You bit your lip and sucked in your words,You closed your mind and threw away your values.It's not so strange when you're strange,It's not so dumb when you're dumb too.It's not so dull when you're dull like me.It's not so stupid to the stupid,It's not so crude when you're cruel.I don't believe you faked it,I can't believe you made it up.I can't believe you're still faking it,And I don't believe you made a fool of me.No one ever died from just a little rain,But you opened the flood gates, dear.It's not so different when you're different,It's not so lonely when you're a loner too.It's not so quiet when you're quiet like me.It's not so tame to the tame,It's not so graphic when you've seen worse.Beauty's not the only thing that's in the eyes of the beholder.No one ever thinks they deserve a spear in the side,but when you really think it through,Everyone will die bleeding and everyone will cry.No one ever died from just a little rain,But you opened the flood gates, dear.
