Whore

“Whore”  
I have been reduced to nothing    
Each strangled groan    
Too caught up in between your bed sheets    
For anyone to hear me  
   
I am not the girl    
You introduce to your new friends  
I’m the secret    
Kept down where you can keep it  
I only meet your little friend  
Every other night  
When you get lonely    
   
Each night I cry myself to sleep  
Because you won’t hold me  
You hold her  
But haven’t you noticed she's starting to look just like me?  
   
Tell me baby,  
Why you won’t introduce me to your family  
Why I only get to see the ceiling of your bedroom    
When you fill me  
   
I’ve learned to hang onto every word you’ve ever told me  
Let it hold me when she was all I could see  
Tattooed onto the back of my eyelids    
When I try to sleep    
   
Tell me baby,    
Why do I feel guilty?  
Why do I feel so empty?  
Someone once told me  
To win the game  
I'd have to sell my body  
But I can't put a price on
What I already gave away freely
