Safety Pins

Copyright, Christi

If you would just forgive yourself for all your tainted sins
Perhaps I wouldn’t scar my self with dirty safety pins
If you would let me kiss the wounds beyond your pretty skin
Perhaps I wouldn’t hate myself and let the point dig in
If you would let me know you or at least understand
perhaps I wouldn’t scar my palid skin with knife in hand
The more I feel I love you I kill you with affection
The more I try to know you, you kill me with rejection
I wish I could affect you I wish that I could win
Then perhaps I wouldn’t hate myself and stab myself with pins
