Did I change, or did you?


Am I 

Not what you imagined?

Is this 

Not what you envisioned?

Are you 

Sure that you love me?

Or do you 

Find yourself wishing

That I'd 

Been a little stronger 

Or maybe 

Just more efficient?

Do you 

Still think that I'm brave?

Or do you 

Now think me depraved? 

Please tell me!

Do you 

Still find me alluring?

Or are all my flaws disturbing? 

If I'm being honest

Then I've really got to say

That I do not really care 

If I frighten you away. 

Run, run, run,

Count to ten and then I'm done. 

I will laugh while my blood 

Stains marble floors and I 

Go completely unspun.
