you know you only have to
listen to the voice in your head
listen to your body that says
it's enough, it's more than i can take

save some love for yourself,
little girl, who's not so little anymore
her innocence draped across the bathroom floor
mixed with a mockery of love
and honey-laced half truths
and a body starving for more, for more

listen to your heart, you've got
an ocean's fill of love inside
don't waste it on a never-ending thirst
you aren't to be used, you should be revered
you are meant to be worshipped, little girl,
this is not what you deserve

-it's time to leave
