you've never seen me
you've never touched me
yet know me with all of your heart
i find that hard to believe
conceived in the dirtiest of slums
a bastard child bore to a bitch of a mother
continuously she wished for my death
i was forced to grow up before my time
my virginity is but only a delusion
given to the highest paying groom
morality and virtue i know i require
i am best laid down on my back
many beds i have slept in
yet my eyes forever droop
heavy from lack of rest
blackened by abusive men
lovers i've had come and go
i have loved them each feverishly
with all the hatred from hackneyed promises
that still burn inside my filled chest
so do not distract yourself
with this illusion of love for me
take the rose colored glasses off
see me for who i truly am
i am nothing but empty space
to you or anyone else
just another lost little girl
let down by those who have loved me
