"Never Trust a Boy With Red Cheeks"

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the trouble

Knowing every time I open my mouth

I'ts your version of the truth that I hear

And I know it's myself to blame 

every time I open up your Facebook page

But I can't quell this rage 

and I keep seeing you in every boy 

on my college campus with hazy intentions or a ruddy face

Forgive me for being flaky

after you betrayed my safety and made me

question the very core of my  own feeling

made me question the functions of my body

and my sexuality

I think I need some space

but every time I take it 

I run over the same few moments 

and try to place the fault that I feel

the reasons for hot showers and shaky knees

washing you off of my skin

Retracing footsteps and thoughts to place 

the degree of my sin

And I know you'll come back from college one day 

and you'll see my face

at a gas station that reminds me of your smell 

and I hope to god I don't look away 

from the f*****g gas nozzle.
