I once loved a boy with a razor blade smile
and his words - they cut deep.
he taught me some things,
in the night in the attic
and I grew because of the pain
so i guess
i'm glad i had it.
I once loved a boy with skin like salt
open wounds of mine would
burn
if he touched me
I thought.
The boy that I loved
loved
like i said
he hurt my soul
i thought it was dead.
now i love a man with jagged teeth
and he smiles and
its biting
and beautiful and unique.
Sometimes his eyes are empty
or wattery and sad
sometimes they hold true love
its the best i've ever had.
i love a man
i once loved a child
