One Night Stands and Insecurities

by xoxShorteexox   Jul 23, 2007


My emotions are on display in my porcelain face,
my insecurities pasted on into the person you see,
every lie you've ever told me is showing through,
I wear my heart around my neck for all to see,
if fooling everyone was so easy as fooling you, darling,
I would have had the whole world fooled for years now,
my mind so clouded by the smell of cigarettes on your breath,
as I paint on another fake and fragile smile for the world,
I'll look like a plastic figure with my arm entangled in yours,
my laughter will throw daggers at the hearts of my so called friends,
and darling, you'll be just another back seat lover for one more night,
these one night stands are getting old and you're breaking my bed posts,
I'm not interested in another one of your games of this twisted thing you call love,
walk out the door, shut it behind you and don't look back; you'll be doing us both a favor,
I'm tired of your alocholic lips pressing against my skin,
stop with all these scenes, this isn't an act; it's reality for all to see,
you're grabbing all your clothes and walking out the door; I took off my display of emotions,
hours ago, darling, don't look so gloomy that I'm too numb to cry for you,
we both knew this wouldn't last forever; one night stands never last forever,
I'm laying in bed with no emotions on display at all; as I whisper there's no rest for the wicked,
a new one night stand will come again; another one of those men who thinks he's in love,
I'll paint on another facade of my insecurities and make him believe I am too.
