Skeleton
By: Emilia Vaughn

I am the empty drink up on your shelf
I tried to sell myself
Into your hands
Your bed
You’re picking me up
On the weekends
I can’t get enough.
Do you care that it hurt me?
Your skin on my body
Now I can’t
Take back
All that I gave you
And I know
That you won’t
Call me when I get home.
Need my skeleton back
Every bone
You took from the body I owned
And I know
You’ll say you’ve been busy at home
But really I know that you’re…
Stoned on the couch
With some girl in your T-shirt
That I wore last Friday
Guess I’m not a keeper
I know
At least I know
I’m alone.
Take what you want
And choose every risk
While I go on top and you get away with it
And I know
It’s my fault
I put you on like a wet glove
My drug
Now I’m losing sleep
Over us.
Need my skeleton back
Every bone
You took from the body I owned
And I know
You’ll say you’ve been busy at home
But really I know that you’re…
Stoned on the couch
With some girl in your T-shirt
That I wore last Friday
Guess I’m not a keeper
I know
At least I know
I’m alone
