† Bad Girls Break Hearts

Bad girls break hearts and leave scars.
Bad girls deceive you and then leave you stranded
on an island filled with starving cannibals
simply because you came home late and she feared the worst.
They’ll pilfer your stash of cigarettes tucked away behind the cupboard
and they’ll encounter intoxication with the help
of your aged wine and expensive liquour
and won’t give two fucks once you dish out confrontation
because that’s what they do best.
They’ll turn arguments around and watch as you bleed.
Friendly fires and stained desires inspire
these beautiful, sadistic liars.
Trump them if you can,
you’ll fail in every way.

Innoncet once, I’m sure.
Probably believed in love, too.
Then the villain emerged from the depths of their fairy tale
and shredded their sanity with the power of heartbreak.
I’m sure they were warriors once, fending for themselves
but they’re too broken to fight,
to pained to continue on as the heroine.
Injected with heroin and high dosages of painkillers,
ther bloodstream poisoned with countless foreign substances,
bad girls are nothing more
than angels who have fallen from grace.

Perhaps you’ll make them believe once more.
Pick up the pieces of what’s been shattered
and resuscitate them with a kiss
that will undo all their scars.
