My gift to You.

By Mnemora

I'll play the fool if that makes you smile.
I'll lie to myself for an approving nod.
Men don't really have feelings, I guess,
so don't feel bad about the knife in my heart.
Chicks in movies always talk 'bout the perfect man,
I tried to be so for you.
But you don't want that, really,
so i'll sit here and wait.
I'll bide my time and take back those roses,
that shit's too romantic anyhow.
But don't feel bad, you fucking succubus,
When I steal your innocence... and laugh.
