WE or YOU
Your mangled words confuse me
Your fading light grows dim
I'm victim to your winding path
Enslaved by your every whim
I voiced my main concern
On this we both agreed
But little did I know my words
Would set a trap for me
A once spurned girl with cautious precision
I looked before I lept
But my amateur moves were not a match
To a man's calculated steps
I told myself that once is enough
And that I could not be fooled twice
I guess an attempt to make myself tough
If I was to be burned again, I wouldn't be very nice
But here you come and there I go
Suspicion in my eye
Only sparked by the whispered words
Exchanged when you walk by
Attempting to believe
I want to believe you
I know what I see
Every time that I see you
But I'd hate to believe
That I've joined a long chain of girls
That you may have deceived...or just fucked
It's only fair, that I am scared considering my luck
I've already opened myself up to you
Too late to take that back now
So my only option is to wait
And wonder if you'll hurt me and how
So my presence withers
My request at its simplest
My insides shiver
Please please please baby, don't turn me into a statistic
Don't do this to me
Find someone else first
Someone that has the energy left
To have it beaten out of her
Like a feeble old woman, like an abused child
My insides cry out
And my body cries
Out loud
With all of my trust
I throw sisterly love at the possibility
That it isn't just
lust
Am I special to you?
Do I carry something a little extra in your eyes?
I must ask myself
For once, can I be a man's prize?
I don't want to ask anymore
But I am still curious
At the end of the day
I breathe and I pray
Which is all that I can do
Is it us or just me.
Is it we, or just you.
