like a flower.

move your body
try to be a dancer
contort and twist
for every answer
let your thighs
speak in volumes
give a peek
strip your costume

twist and bend
bend and break
break and let
him overtake.

you're a girl
he's a boy
knives are sharp
and they're not toys.
shut your mouth
make yourself small
the silent are most
desired of all.

twist and bend
bend and break
break your body
for his sake.

crying only
makes you weak
strip your costume
for a peek.
gain your ground
by standing still
contort and twist
give him his fill.

twist and bend
bend and break
break the rules
and you're at stake.

and i will shrink
like a flower
in the winter's
coldest hour.
