Mother Dearest

V.4

Close your eyes and we’ll pretend it never happened…

One…

Two…

Three…

The expression on your face hasn’t changed
The echo of your words still fresh in my memory is 'in my memory' needed or is it a given?
A never ending slap much tighter start.

Cause I’m not the first girl i think it should be 'cause. or 'course with the apostrophe before the word.
That’s ever had a man manipulate his way
Past the button on her jeans to leave a bloody mess
Along with a whispered “hush”
Indentations of my teeth imprinted on my lips

And how proud you must be
That I’m such a bleeding disappointment
My heart pinned like a scarred badge
On my rhetorical sleeve, that refuses to drown
In the alcoholic dousing I’m happy to give it

I’m so full of wonderful obscenities
Words I never learnt from you
When silence was your motto
To the things a young girl should know
About the big bad world out there

Close your eyes and we’ll pretend it never happened…

And I’ll pretend I don’t know your secret
The one you’ve been hiding behind out of duty
To a man don't love
Still pretending nothing is wrong
Afraid to admit that men should never have that power

So, just close your eyes and we’ll pretend it never happened…

just a couple of nits. i'd seriously step away from it for now. for a while any way, i think it's virtually there. it's good to see people workshopping their stuff.
thanks for the edit
