You Are Scared of Me

Heavy lipstick and curled hair, 
Like a photograph;
But I feel the energy 
whenever you’re near me; 
I’m nothing like the rest of them 
that’s why 
you’re scared of me;
my heart on my sleeve 
telling you exactly what I need;
Flimsy dresses and an absent stare
Oh honey, that’s a surface glare;
like staring at the Sun
It makes you blind;
Then you’re shaking again; 
I can get you high 
and you’re stone cold sober; 
Spaghetti tanks and no risk 
easy as pie like a one night stand .
I could reach your soul with a butterfly kiss, 
and no lips;
that’s why you’re scared of me.
