&quot; You know my head&#039;s too soft and my lifes to hard.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We&#039;re all a little broken. We&#039;re all a little twisted. We&#039;re all less than we could be or want to be. &quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;a good woman will pick you apart<br /> a box full of suggestions for your possible heart<br /> and you may be offended. and you may be afraid<br /> but don&#039;t walk away, don&#039;t walk away&quot;

I saw you today
walking with her
and I gave up.
How can I
ever begin to compete
with her extreme beauty,
which is all you've ever wanted
I am plain,
wasted
nothing you could ever see.
So now I am stuck
in this shame coated body
watching the only thing
I've ever really wanted
walk away with her.
