If you said I was as beautiful as this flower
I’ve plucked from the earth to kill,
Would you think I was a monster?
Or amazingly beautiful still?
I haven’t the patience for infinity
I tend to lose interest in sublime
But give me some room to run around
And I’ll show you a lady with a rhyme.
You can spew loving words from your mouth
Maybe even mean seven of them.
Not a single one will hit my ears
Because I have the innate ability to condemn.
Judge, jury, and executioner
Of everything you say.
With the ability to decipher
And a guarantee I will not stay.
There are women that would swoon
At the words a man said.
I would rather hear the wind through trees
Or the sound of nothing instead.
I would rather grab a man’s mind
Than to ever grab an appendage.
Second to that, his heart, of course
Then you have the advantage.
You needn’t ever ask if I believe what you say
Because the answer will always be “no”
Save yourself the trip to absconding
And when you feel an attraction to me, just go.
