Can I Be Without You

Sometimes it's hard

to look

you in the eye

'cause

I know

who you are

at your core

inside

it either hurts

or makes

me want to soar

but I can't get

off the ground

unless I'm with you

and you say

it's fine

then I could fly.

I want

to be just like you

more bad then good

the one

everybody worships.

One day I told you

your skirt

was a little short

you slapped me

backhanded

that expensive ring

cut my cheek

everybody laughed

and left me in a pile

on the pavement.

I want to be

done

with you

but

now I am addicted

and the lies you fed me

saying

I could never be someone

without you

feel so true.
