Do you think about me?
Do you think about me
Holding hands under blankets
Sneaking smiles and glances
Knowing there was no one else
Who loved you more than I did
Do you think about me
Waiting patiently just for you
You could have had me if you wanted
But you kept me a secret
While you pined for another
Do you think about me
Vying for your affection
Just pretty enough, and completely smitten
You put me on strings
And I danced just for you
Do you think about me
You traveled across the world
And asserted you returned a man
I thought you would give me your heart
But you only loved the attention
Do you think about me
Was I somebody to you
Or just skin beneath your fingers
The embodiment of your desires
Just a means to your end
Do you think about me
Did you consider yourself a victim
Tempted by a siren
You knew you should say no
But you hypnotized yourself
Do you think about me
Struggling beneath your ego
Pulling on the master's strings
Screaming to be seen and heard
Reminding you I was human
Do you think about me
Your precious little puppet
An object of your own creation
You hallowed out my soul
But you couldn’t turn me into her
Do you think about me
You didn't want me anymore
But you were too selfish to share
You placed me on your highest shelf
And made me jump for my freedom
Do you think about me
Were you afraid I would tell?
Or did you break your toy on purpose
So that anyone who picked me up
Would throw me in the garbage
Do you think about me
Your lies were so well crafted
We both believed they were canon
You took your place as the anointed
I became the succubus of your invention
Do you think about me
Is it my face you see
Or the Pierrot you painted over it
I scrub myself raw, hoping it will fade
But it remains in the mirror
Do you think about me
Have you forgiven yourself yet
Is your conscience wiped clean
Or is it as dirty as my shoes were
After you had your way with me
Do you think about me
Have you moved on and forgotten
Covered me up like a regretted tattoo
Or do you force yourself to love me
Now that I'm marked on you forever
Do you think about me
Do you still tell yourself it's my fault
Are you able to keep up the charade
Are you narrating the same old story
Or does my existence haunt you
Do you think about me
I'm no longer a marionette
Your power over me is gone
I'm picking up the pieces
But nothing fits together the same
Do you think about me
Because you changed me forever
Can you say the same?
Are you able to be happy
Or did you ruin yourself too
Do you think about me
Because I still think about you
