Fair Warning

with these words I give fair warning
They're supposed to hurt
I know I said I loved you
But now I say you're dirt
Why I've had this change of mind?
Look inside of me, you'll find
I'm not who you thought
I'm not open wide inside
	There's scratches and
	thorns,
Briar rose all cosy inside I find
myself alive.
Turning my back on you - Yeah I'm
treating you like shit, Maybe if I
look inside
I love you just a little bit
Maybe inside I gave fair warning
of this. Do you taste my tongue
inside you when we kiss?
I didn't think so.
I'm not who you thought
I have no pride inside.
I ache I break impaled
on a stake
I find myself bleeding,
pleading, needing
Not a piece of you
(Not as obvious as these rhymes)
I find inside my mind
I'm just looking for
myself inside
(nothing complex)
fair enough
