Tell On Me
I knew you were there
I waited for you to sit on the desk
I wanted you to hear me say it
Slashed up markings engraved
on the outside of my right leg
I wanted you to know who
created them
The one who sits in the front
row and laughs nervously
The one you talk down to
As if you could see through
my encased self and into
my vulnerbility
It will never be enough
Even if you knew
It will never stop
I will always want more
