Erotic

Half way through The Lion King

You took my virginity

Afterwards we took a bath

You threw me a towel and laughed

Saying, "Marah never dries her legs"

There were pictures of her kid in frames

Claiming you practically raised her

I remember feeling so confused

I remember feeling like a child

Was it erotic

My joy, my elation

Did you feel big

Taking it

You would get me all alone at work

Saying it's sexier to keep it secret

Sparkling beneath your grip

I was such an easy target

One night you brought out all your toys

I was young, I didn't know I had a choice

Then you hypnotized me with a whip

And I cried so hard I vomited

Was it erotic

My joy, my elation

Did you feel big

Taking it

I'd like to thank the Christian church

I'd like to thank my parents

Silence is my origin

I'm a woman of service to men

So I went to woman's group in spring

They gave me paint and said, "draw anything"

I was a yellow watercolor in the corner

You were a black permanent marker everywhere
