Try Me Again

1/5/24

I’m in love with men who hate themselves
‘cause opposites attract.
They always try to bring me down
but I was taught better than that.
The flaws of my body keep me intact.
My tears keep me cool while others attack.
Try me again, try me again…
You will only bring your flaws to bed,
while next I sleep, in love with them.
Try me again, try me again…
The only hole you puncture
is a love you harbor to amend.

I love the way you smile.
I love the way you grave.
I hope you find a structure
of the feeling you’ve made–
build it up, break it down,
try my again, try me again…
‘cause the only hate you have
are the men you bring to bed.
