I Tried To Warn You


I may look like a pretty dream

on the outside

but inside

I’m your worst nightmare

so really you can’t be surprised

when cruel words escape

from my blood red lips

you can’t blame me

for shoving you into the wall

and smirking meanly

when you cry

really you’ve gotten yourself

into this mess

you can’t say I didn’t warn you

I’m dark inside
