I'm the song sang by the gal with the gorgeous vocals
you know you dream about it,
oh so pretty
but such a nightmare
because once i'm in your head
I like to stick around,
stay for just a while
Like a siren's voice
my words
[when given enough umph,bam,zip,pow,hutzpa]
can shatter your mind in a second
sing the song with me:
"I'm so pretty yeah
I'm so pretty yeah
I'm so pretty yeah
I'm so pretty tonight
am I pretty tonight?
tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm your pretty little nightmare
nightmare."
I guess I got tired of being
so obscene
And I was sick of being a shattered lullaby
[also inspired by the girl with the killer chords]
that you play at night when you can't sleep
so now I'm Your[his]PrettyNightmare
because he used to call me beautiful
but now that it's over
he doesn't sleep so well anymore
I guess that's the price we have to pay
I'm his nightmare,
but he's my broken heart.
Author notes
my name was inspired by the song "Pretty Little Nightmare" by Steffy, and also it fits now due to the loss of love for the second time. I also mentioned my previous names briefly. This poem makes it sound like I'm vain, but in the end I like how it turned out I guess

You are....AMAZING!!! I just saw your picture and said, "Hey! Another black chick! Yes!" So I figured I'd come see about cha. Boy, am I glad I did! I think we'd get along nicely. We're a little bit alike.
