Underneath the mattress

by goddessofsong   Oct 30, 2005


How can i tell you,
that you don't know what ur doing?
how can i make you see,
when your eyes are blind?
how can i make you believe me,
when u don't understand my words?
how can i explain,
how it hurts me to wait,
wait under this mattress,
for you to come crashing down?
your games tangled,
your innocence lost.
little girls grown into retched women.
it kills me to wait.
wait for the inevitable.
i tried to shield you, but u turn away
so become what you will,
while i wait for you,
under the mattress.
