Femme Fatale

You live your life trying to forget,

Pretending not to care, when the hurt burns you to the core,

I see you throwing yourself wholeheartedly into causes,

Living on the wild side of life,

How hard is it to keep up the pretense?

To make the world feel like everything is fine?

How many nights do you try to forget, but can't?

How many drinks have you taken?

How many bottles has it been?

Have you found a cure to your broken heart? That brokenness?

Or are you still searching?

Carelessness will never fill the void, neither will false enthusiasm.

See, I see right through you, femme fatale.

I'm the match that started the flame.
