she knew this.

he assured her, its all or nothing,
she wasnt overly concered.
she knew she was leaving.
the town had shaped her well
and bruised her good.
she knew he had wrapped it all up
in pretty package of lies,
but she wasnt worried.
the status of her emotion
was proof it wasnt love.
and she knew it.
she said i guess im gonna have to live with out
this shade of gray.
its something i can leave behind.
this part of my life
is something i can leave behind.
she said, i cant stop shaking,
and he said, i cant stop touching you.
