pricetag
i don’t want to hurt anyone
not a one
and
if you don’t believe that’s true
than i don’t even know how to look at you
and i know this is not the time to tear away
so…
for your sake i’ll stay
for now
i will stay
but honestly
yo no entiendo
the strategy
pretend for your mother
pretend for my mother
pretend for the midwife
pretend for lunita
pretend for everyone but you and me
and what is the payoff?
what do we win?
when lil ‘nita can’t sleep at night or for nap
because she’s crying
over our fighting…
we’re only fooling ourselves
with all this pretending
