A Song
by Maggie HumesEditors' Note: We are unable to publish the music of a song, but below are Maggie's lyrics.
You hear your heart pounding
the
moment's coming close;
In a second it will be going
or it will be the
ending show.
Now smile pretty for the camera
don't let
him break your heart;
now you hope it isn't the karma
that is supposed to
start.
Breathe in, breathe out;
the
pain seeps in.
Now you don't see what it's all about,
this craved
sin.
You hear your heart
pounding
it's moving away from your chest
heavier it keeps growing
as
his hands move across your breast.
You want to tell the truth
and say
please, please stop,
but you know how unsmooth
your friends will think you
are.
Breathe in, breathe out;
the
pain seeps in.
Now you don't see what it's all about,
this craved
sin.
It hurts
you bleed
it
tears
as he needs.
"Just stop,
I can't.
Get off.
This isn't what
I want,"
you wish you could say.
Breathe in, breathe out;
the
pain seeps in.
Now you don't see what it's all about,
this craved
sin.
Why is it desired when it only brings pain?
But smile like you like
it or he won't love you again.
