Her smile wrapped up so tight.
She shied away from the light.
In her descriptions of pain,
truth and lies sounded the same.
She was so proud of her selfish insights.
I met your eyes far too soon.
You were the water in June.
Devised the cleverest ruse,
I sought the fountain of youth
just so one day, I could impress you.
God damn, she’s a pretty girl.
But she comes from the ugliest world.
Still she won’t even notice me.
She killed my trance with her words.
Her ways of life proved absurd.
She found solace in her pride.
Her ignorance she couldn’t hide.
Behind her beauty, there was nothing.
God damn, she’s a pretty girl.
But she comes from the ugliest world.
Still she won’t even notice me.
