Rebound Girl

by Lizzard/Aries-Cancer-Pisces - Not entered

I don't want to be the Rebound Girl
The In-Between-Girl, till you find your real love...
If you only knew
How tight my mouth is glued
So you don't know --
                          Don't know
I worship you.
I've kept my eyes open
I've kept my mouth shut
I've kept my legs closed
          Hoping to be
                Hoping to be your girl

I DON'T WANT to be THE MISTRESS
the I'LL FUCK her WHEN I WANT TO
-Send me home in car service
When the night is through
           I don't want to choke back the tears -
           My head against a car window
           Taking me home
           Before the full light of day
...I've been there, baby....
And I fucking sure as hell 
Don't want to go back again
I'm being so good.
Such a good girl
To try and prove I'm worthy
I'm being so good,
Such a good girl, baby...
          I hope you notice me.

I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING MISTRESS
I'M NOT YOUR SHOULDER TO CRY ON WHEN SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU

I FUCKING HATE MYSELF
BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

I AM NOT YOUR GOOD TIME
  sweet bimbo-of-the-week
I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING IN-BETWEEN-GIRL
  I am me...
  I am me...
A GIRL WHO IS WORTHY OF RESPECT
  I am me...
  I am I...
A GIRL WHO HAS NEARLY BEEN WRECKED
BY BEING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIE...
                     
                          In-between-bimbo
                          Mistress-of-the-week
                          Shoulder-to-cry-on
                          Trophy-of-the-world

                          Miss-led
                          Taken-for-granted
                          With-you-till-morning
                          Rebound Girl

Reason for writing:

    This poem is my first submission here.  I wrote it in reference to two relationships of mine.  The first relationship left baggage I carried with me into my second relationship with a new man.  I was frightened and felt my life was repeating itself.  It's hard being a girl sometimes, and I thought other women might be able to relate to this particular aspect of being a woman, feeling unloved as the Rebound Girl...
