Push Right Back


Don't touch me

Don't

Do you think I'm an object?

Just some play thing?

sitting here to entertain?

Do you think I'm going to fall under your spell

and follow your every command?

I have a soul you know

I have thoughts and feelings

I'm alive in every way that counts

how did we end up here again?

Oh that's right

you made a few sweet promises

leading me astray

and then I said no.

I said no.

No.

When you tried to persuade me

my anger boiled over

and you saw my eyes flare

my temper snapped

I locked up, tense and stiff.

Jerking away, with your every movement

You tried to recover

tried to pull me back in

and I said something that surprised you

 

"Fuck you"

I don't need you

I won't be used by you

yuor words mean nothing to me anymore.

Go ahead

Try to push me to the floor

I'll get back up

and push right back.

 

Don't touch me.

Don't.

You never loved me

you only ever wanted me for my body.
