Brain Washing, Z.Alexandra

Brain Washing
By Zoe Alexandra

Better Late Than Never
but never is a place
I'm too scared to go
all the in-betweens
give me panic attacks

Once you called me
an in-between
and I took offense

If I can't be the best
I better be the worst

I've met so many women
who claim to read men
like directions to the nearest
gas station

All I can read are the instructions
on your clothing
wash in warm water, gentle cycle, hand dry

So let's come clean
If your kind of love is
brainwashing
than my brain
was dirty,
it needed a rinse.
